When Constitution was written

[kelly1mm]

6. Ok - I thought you were talking about an actual legal approach to the problem, rather than just

a rant. The problem is that the courts generally do not have different levels of scrutiny for different amendments to the constitution. Basically what I am saying is that if you were to propose that the 2nd amendment only protects the ownership of weapons that existed at the time that the amendment was ratified, the same limitations would apply to other civil rights. Thus, since the internet did not exist at the time of the 1st amendment, it should not be protected. I think everyone knows that this will be played out in the courts so legal principles matter.
