We often hear gun control fans that the 2nd amendment was only intended to allow single shot weapons, since repeating arms did not exist at that time. Gulchers who would like to prove them wrong should point them to references to the Kalthoff repeating flintlock (with up to 30 rounds) and the Lorenzoni repeating flintlock (typically with 8 rounds), both dating from the late 1600s, far in advance of our nation's founding. These muskets could be fired with only seconds between shots, unlike such oddities like the Puckle gun. I invite other Gulchers to bring up for discussion the other restraints claimed for weapon ownership, with arguments for your particular view.
