In George Washington's day, only 14% of the male population owned guns. Why? Because one gun cost 2 months pay. And most of those guns were unusable. Why? Because they were improperly maintained. Even the ones that were usable were horrible for use. Why? Lousy accuracy and slow. Bows and arrows were still the best weapon.

You might reconsider your source for those statistics which has been debunked by this paper. Gun ownership was more prevalent than what you claim.

I'm less likely to accept Lindgren and Heather's argument because their data does not support what they reached.

Exactly where are you getting your data from?

In colonial America the majority of households owned two firearms. One to take out hunting and another to fend off the attacking Indian Tribes. Almost every home was on the 'frontier' back then.

This guy's a washup, and civilians carrying arms is not a right.

The amendment talks about a "WELL-REGULATED MILITIA". We have one of those even without you having access to high-capacity assault clips for a mass shooting.
What is a Militia?

Lets take a look at The Militia Act of 1792, Passed May 8, 1792, providing federal standards for the organization of the Militia.

"I. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America, in Congress assembled, That each and every free able-bodied white male citizen of the respective States, resident therein, who is or shall be of age of eighteen years, and under the age of forty-five years (except as is herein after excepted) shall severally and respectively be enrolled in the militia, by the Captain or Commanding Officer of the company, within whose bounds such citizen shall reside, and that within twelve months after the passing of this Act. And it shall at all time hereafter be the duty of every such Captain or Commanding Officer of a company, to enroll every such citizen as aforesaid, and also those who shall, from time to time, arrive at the age of 18 years, or being at the age of 18 years, and under the age of 45 years (except as before excepted) shall come to reside within his bounds; and shall without delay notify such citizen of the said enrollment, by the proper non-commissioned Officer of the company, by whom such notice may be proved. That every citizen, so enrolled and notified, shall, within six months thereafter, provide himself with a good musket or firelock, a sufficient bayonet and belt, two spare flints, and a knapsack, a pouch, with a box therein, to contain not less than twenty four cartridges, suited to the bore of his musket or firelock, each cartridge to contain a proper quantity of powder and ball; or with a good rifle, knapsack, shot-pouch, and powder-horn, twenty balls suited to the bore of his rifle, and a quarter of a pound of powder; and shall appear so armed, accoutred and provided, when called out to exercise or into service, except, that when called out on company days to exercise only, he may appear without a knapsack. That the commissioned Officers shall severally be armed with a sword or hanger, and espontoon; and that from and after five years from the passing of this Act, all muskets from arming the militia as is herein required, shall be of bores sufficient for balls of the eighteenth part of a pound; and every citizen so enrolled, and providing himself with the arms, ammunition and accoutrements, required as aforesaid, shall hold the same exempted from all suits, distresses, executions or sales, for debt or for the payment of taxes."

In essence, the Militia consists of "We the People."

If we can't enforce the gun laws we already have, doesn't seem like making new laws to make it harder to get guns is going to be the solution.

.22LR is different then a .223

.223 and 5.56 are the same size.

Not talking about the lead but 1/2 a dozen holes in the meat.

Sounds like you never hunted before TBH.
