    The best scientific group should study the matter. In this case, that would be the NAS.

    But I didn't claim otherwise! I'm talking about the first half of 2A, which is the topic of this thread.

    You were referring to rocks, knives, and forks, which I did not even mention. Now, you imply in your first sentence that you did not mean only firearms, and yet in your next can't imagine soldiers...

    I'm not disagreeing with you, but I'm sure you're aware that warfare after the Revolutionary War changed significantly. That's why militias were replaced by the National Guard.
