I've pointed this out before. The founders legalized the possession of single-shot, muzzle loading, black powder weapons. I don't see any part of the constitution that assumes automatic presumed updating to keep up with technology.

But then Obama and Eric Holder let them go.

By the way, the US constitution still allows the creation of privateers. Congress has the right: "To declare War, grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal, and make Rules concerning Captures on Land and Water;"

I think you contradict yourself in your own post. You say the founding fathers never expected citizens to possess high powered weapons. Then you bring up cannons. Notice the founding fathers never passed laws forbidding citizens from posessing cannons? How do you explain that?
