Gun Control & RKBA

stems from the fundamental right to self defense as an extension of the right to life.

Notice that the 2nd Amendment (and for that matter the 1st Amendment) does not enumerate a specific technology. This indicates, to me at least, that our Founding Fathers understood that technology would not stand still but rather that it would evolve and selection of the term "arms" allowed for sufficient flexibility to address the change in personal weapons technology that has occurred since the late 18th century.

Our FF were very wise when they drafted the Constitution in that it built in flexibility to accommodate changes in society as well as the ability to change (albeit with extreme difficulty) the fundamental framework in case there was a valid reason (but not changes because a simple majority "feels" that a change should be made - - look at the mess that the California Constitution has become because of their method of revising their state Constitution).
