Ok but where does it say "ANY" arms in the constitution?

It doesn't need to. It says "the right of the people to keep and bear arms
shall not be
infringed." Any and all arms are implicitly included in that phrasing,
because anything less
than that is inherently an infringement.

You do know the courts have upheld the ban on machine guns sales? The
courts do not take the words literally.


Did they ??
When was that ??
Feel free to cite those cases

And then turn it around and review those cases in the light of the Heller
and Macdonald decisions which are MAJOR game-changers..


They recognize the time in which the amendment was written
and take that into account when interpreting the words.

Maybe in your fantasies
I know of no such cases
You had better cite them for us.
