"The Second Amendment does not protect assault-style weapons and
high-capacity magazines. It's certainly not what the framers of the
Constitution intended when they drafted the Second Amendment." - Brian Frosh
Really???? Did the framers intend on the Internet, email, and social media to be protected by the First amendment...NO, but it still is.
"Lease restrictive means"
What does that mean?
Some have made the argument, bordering on the frivolous, that only those arms in existence in the 18th century are protected by the Second Amendment. We do not interpret constitutional rights that way. Just as the First Amendment protects modern forms of communications, e.g., Reno v. American Civil Liberties Union, 521 U. S. 844, 849 (1997), and the Fourth Amendment applies to modernforms of search, e.g., Kyllo v. United States, 533 U. S. 27, 35–36 (2001), the Second Amendment extends, prima facie, to all instruments that constitute bearable arms, even those that were not in existence at the time of the founding.
