Yep there were and the Founding Fathers knew that these would be in the hands of the average citizen.

I like the other argument where they only want you to have what was available when the Constitution was written in regards to the 2nd amendment. My reply is also OK, then how about you only use what was available when the 1st amendment was written, a quill pen. There goes your ability to spew all of your anti gun propaganda on the internet, radio, and TV.
