I am not someone that thinks we should use the US Constitution as the Founding Fathers meant their ideas to apply to society in 1789 and shortly afterwards.

Society and laws develop. As does the lethality of "arms". People should deal with the 2nd Amendment as it applies to events in 2022 not those in the 1790s.
