Another attempt to disarm law abiding citizens.

I’ve always looked at the Second Amendment from a firearm angle. I think it would cover knives and swords as well. Am I wrong?

You’re not wrong. Your Second Amendment covers “Arms”. That includes firearms, certainly. It also includes swords, knives, blunt objects, cannon, catapult, explosives, pointy sticks, nunchuks — any offensive tool that can be used against an opponent.

I see no reason to read the US Constitution or US Law any differently.

Your concealed carry permit may or may not restrict you to firearms. You would need to check with your state.
