I agree with DelayedReaction. Small arms should be legal as it was looked upon as the right of citizens to own them and to equip a militia. Cannons, rockets and like could be argued but I would be against the average person owning them.
One of the arguments against the 2nd amendment concerning guns is the argument "what small arms would do against a government armed with tanks?" One has to only look at what our founding fathers used against the vaunted British fleet, which in many cases was nothing more than a rowboat with a cannon in it.
