“Lexington and Concord were about large bore crew served military weapons. Not sporting arms.”
Right you are.
If I recall history correctly, Col. Moultrie and his 1st and 2nd South Carolina battalions, who defended Charleston from the British fleet on Sullivan’s Island in June, 1776, hauled his personal 9 and 12 pound cannons from his barn and used them to blast the enemy frigates from the fort’s palmetto ramparts. More than 250 British were killed, while Moultrie’s battalions suffered minimum casualties.
Sometimes, large weapons are needed.
That was the intent of the second amendment. Yet today EVERYTHING concerning the distribution and sale, design, function and ownership of weapons is regulated.
It is so far from the intent of the 2nd Amendment as to be laughable.
