The framers weren't talking about the technology only the right to say and write want you want.... Not so much about what we say and write - but that the government is barred from making laws the deny our rights. And the framers had no concept of what weapons would evolve into... Pretty much assumed we had a right to current military weapons in case of war, or needing to renew the tree of freedom with some blood of tyrants. This was all explained in the Heller decision - isn't it time you moved on?

And the framers had no concept of what weapons would evolve into They also had no concept of web sites. "A well regulated militia being necessary for the security of a free state", gives an opinion about militias and the security of a free state and a reason for the next clause but it doesn't impose any requirement or limitation on anything. Nothing in that phrase has any such meaning, at least not in English, maybe in some private language of yours, but we probably shouldn't interpret the constitution as if it was written in that language.
