It was written to ensure the populace would be a deterrent to out-of-line government. What use would outdated weapons be towards that?

And remember that the bill of rights just acknowledges inherent rights, it doesn't grant rights. Humans have an inherent right to be able to defend themselves. I think owning and carrying small arms, within reason (violent felons don't get guns, no one needs grenade launchers, stuff like thst), is a good part of that.

Even the universal declaration of human rights acknowledges an inherent right to life, liberty, and security of person. But it's clear reality that no gov can provide security of person to every individual, so they are entitled to the ability to pursue that themselves to the extent it doesn't infringe on others' rights.

What good would a declaration of rights be without any individual capacity to protect against infringement upon them by evil men?
