The writers of the Bill of Rights had no concept of semi-automatic rifles with large capacity magazines.
The well-regulated militia is completely different from every yahoo being allowed to own as many semi-automatic rifles, high capacity magazines, and unlimited ammunition as they can obtain.

Since the yahoos seem to think that the Constitution is NOT a living document and therefore is to be carried out as written: the only firearm in existence at that time was the single shot pistol or musket - that is the only weapon that should be allowed for the general public.
IF the shooters burst in the Christmas party with single shot pistols or muskets, they certainly could have been overpowered after getting off their one shot before reloading.
This IS sensible gun control!
