   What you are ignoring is the INTENT behind the 2nd Amendment . The
intent was for the people to be armed equally with the military . And in
fact more than a few of the cannons used in the Revolutionary War were
privately owned ... so ANY limitation of private ownership of armaments
- be it cannons , bombs , full auto rifles or whatever - is technically
unconstitutional . If I wanted any of these I'd have it whether the
gov't liked it or not .

Thomas Jefferson owned high capacity military-issue assault rifles, so the 
Founding Fathers definitely knew of their possibility.

Lewis and Clark carried one and demonstrated it to dissuade hostile attacks.
