we should point out that when the Second Amendment was ratified, the deadliest firearm in the world was a single-shot musket that took a skilled user over thirty seconds to re-load.

No one at the time could have imagined that one day, a 'new world' would have a firearm capable of killing thirty school children in five seconds with one pull of the trigger. Or that there would be people out there who thought it perfectly acceptable to have un-trained civilians own such firearms.
