"..free State" might imply that the states may need to protect themselves from an overreaching federal govmt, and you can't do that with muskets.
And what about the first amendment, freedom of the press? In those days, the distribution of newspapers was limited and not across the nation, and there was no internet, so how can that apply today? And here you are spouting off your views on the 2nd, excercising your 1st amendment freedom of speech on the internet that wasn't even dreamed of in those days..... Maybe we need to limit that too!
