Great, so 18th century arms it is.
I'll call my representative and inform them to craft legislation defining all firearms made after the 18th century to be Specifically designed for military use.

You cannot have it both ways, either the constitution is stagnant static and constant, where all definition is frozen in time, or it changes based on the time.
Which is it?

Either congress has the right to regulate and specify the arms proscribed to the militia, or only those in use at the time of the amendments adoption are acceptable by definition of the age.

So, lets get this straight.
Psychosis, schizophrenia, bi polar disorder, sure, give em a gun! No problem!
Attempted murder? Sure here's your gun.
Spousal abuse? No sweat, want a full auto?
So what does it take?

it is currently a felony for a felon to attempt to but a gun.
in 2012 100,000 felons attempted to buy a gun,
and only 2 of them were prosecuted.
does this sound like current laws are being enforced to you?
