the right to bear arms was talking about MILITIAS!
even says so in the second amendement.
and I quote: "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."
you have the right to bear arms if you belong to a militia, which was used for defense in those days as they did not wish to have a standing army, but a kind of citizen army reserves program where you might be called to fight, say if the Queen of England wanted her country back or if Indians started raping and pillaging.
"well regulated' even there you've got GUN CONTROL!
The founding fathers would be horrified by what has happened to their country.
They would not support the NRA or the gun nuts at all.
They certainly wouldn't support lettting 18 year olds buy assault weapons!
