"Originally it just meant a musket per farm."

Please show this in ANY historical document. The militia was every able bodied male, nothing to do with farms.

"Now what does it mean, machine-gun nests on every roof-top"

Stupid, stupid argument.

"or just a common sense rifle or handgun? I say the latter the the latter only,"

Hooray for you. Big whip. I'm impressed at you allowing us common people to have guns.

"especially in more populated areas where any bullet fired can keep going and going and kill whomever. firing weapons in populated areas is simply not safe."

True 'dat.

the musket was the best military weapon of that time, so the Fathers want people to have the best weapon of the time.
