Interpretation: The Second Amendment | The National Constitution Center

This is a good discussion of the 2nd Amendment.

My opinion is that the Founding Fathers in their wisdom made that sentence about the "right to bear arms" very unclear so future Americans could interpret it to fit the technology of that time. They did know how inventions like gunpowder and the printing press could change society quite a bit.
