No, you do not need permission for "dangerous weapons". Don't backtrack now, you only posted that a short time ago. Your specific example was a bazooka It is taken for granted that light arms (rifles and pistols) are genetic successors to the arms of the day, Only to the NRA. That reasoning would state that bazookas are just the genetic successor to a roman candle. The weapons in general usage in the late 1700s were obviously of enough worry to the authors of the constitution to have this clause and debate. Successors of weapons would logicly be more of a concern and not just grandfathered in with powder horns and ramrods. TP
