A federal appeals court on Friday struck down parts of New York's controversial concealed carry law but upheld most of the ban on carrying guns in "sensitive places."
At the time arms meant the weapon you carried. You don’t carry a cannon. You don’t carry a tank. You don’t carry a M2. Those are all heavy weapons and not ‘arms’ as used historically. When states required people to muster, they didn’t demand they bring artillery. They expected them to bring arms—their rifles.
You can’t carry an M2. It’s a stationary weapon.
I am pro-Second Amendment, but the intent was never for civilians to own artillery and crew-served weapons. It was meant to allow the building of infantry units.
No it isn’t. I want an actual source, not just some random article with the equivalent of “dude, trust me” as it’s source. Beyond that, the article doesn’t make the claim you’re making, which is that the 2nd amendment excludes some weapons. Just that it definitely does include modern select fire rifles and handguns.

Might as well include tactical nukes in “arms”.
Source on this?
It’s in the article I cited.
