When the amendment was written, the framers did not mean artillery and bigger weapons that had not been invented yet are irrelevant.
You know that how? I find it rather amazing that you can read minds- -particularly those of dead men.

Once a constitutional convention is convened, the whole ball of wax is up for grabs and we don't want that.
That statement has been made many times. On what basis do you justify it? Could not a convention be authorized whose only allowed function is to change the 2nd amendment? Why not?

Additionally, anything they come out with has to go through a ratification process like the Constitution did and like any amendment does. If you don't like their work. don't ratify it.
