I think the founding fathers absolutely knew that technology in firearms would advance and I believe that is the express reason that they did not write musket, or rifled musket. If you look at the original militia act. It states that they shall have at the ready a suitable musket or FIRELOCK. Now I'm not 100% certain, but I believe that the reference to firelock could be inferred that were speaking of match locks or wheel locks. Could anyone provide further analysis on that?

I have often wondered about the word BEAR in that glorious phrase. Were they meaning it literally and absolutely that we were permitted to only have arms that we may bear in our hands, or were artillery pieces included?
