arms - A weapon, especially a firearm: troops bearing arms; ICBMs, bombs, and other nuclear arms.
Did the 'Founding Fathers' limit the meaning of arms to hunting weapons? Of course not. But at the same time it certainly included heavy battle weapons. So because the Founding Fathers wanted to establish decentralized militias almost three centuries ago it still makes sense today? Because the Founding Fathers accepted slavery that means that it never should have been abolished? Idiotic.
