Not sure if it matters anymore, but if the Founders wanted us to be able to fend off subjection why should we not have AK-47’s AND anything else that’s useful for such a purpose?

"Who are the militia? Are they not ourselves? Is it feared, then, that we shall turn our arms each man gainst his own bosom. Congress have no power to disarm the militia. Their swords, and every other terrible implement of the soldier, are the birthright of an American...[T]he unlimited power of the sword is not in the hands of either the federal or state governments, but, where I trust in God it will ever remain, in the hands of the people."

Tenche Coxe, founding father.

Cannons (at least on ships, not sure about land) were okay for private citizens back then.

Exactly. The second amendment isnt for enthusiasts or hunters. It is to stop authorities who come to confiscate our large sodas. And no true American would have an AK-47, the communist weapon of choice.
