I’m not so sure “arms” was narrowly used to mean “musket” by framers of the United States Constitution. Though modern technology has significantly improved firearm technology, back in the 18 th century the average person had access to some pretty devastating arms that are not used the same way today because of safer technology.
On the other hand, I see no reason whatsoever for civilians to have access to fully automatic firearms.
