It is curious that the folks who want to always approach the Constitution with an “originalist” conservative view, in most matters, have a hard time when it comes to the Second Amendment, where they demand a “liberal” approach for gun rights.

The Second Amendment was written in the time of single-shot rifles and muskets, and for these reasons that was how it was formulated. Following the logic of the “originalist” view, only single shot weapons would be covered by the Second Amendment.

If assault/multi-firing weapons are to be allowed, then an amendment to address that “need” is required.
