Isn't that supposed to just be flavor text? In other words, we should take the constitution literally, except for that part of the second amendment, just ignore that.
Framers likely would have claimed that private citizens should be able to own working tanks (gun and all). They believed in a monopoly of violence solely predicated on the ability to muster an army, not on bans of certain types of weapons.
But maybe we shouldn't give a fk about framers intent. That's where the real debate should be on...
