They certainly didn't only have sling-shots going up against British muskets. Just like you wouldn't want a mere musket going against M-16's.

The 2nd Amendment is based upon a very clear principle, not based on technological specifications or limitations of the time.
uh huh. from what i've looked up there is nothing that shoots anything near as quickly or as accurately as what we have today. and sure, its a principal but i doubt that when it was written they were thinking about what guns would be like 200 years later. meanwhile more and more people will die to protect your unlikely scenario.
