Wait, for personal ownership? It’s always read to me more as an argument for gun control. Like, “the founding fathers obviously never intended for Joe Shmoe to have serious military hardware, not even in their day, so we should be banning automatic rifles and the like.”
That type of hardware still would have been owned only by corporations and the absolute wealthiest people, and it certainly wasn’t getting wheeled out for home defense.
