Almost forgot

One of the men to credit for why repeating arms became much less expensive during the 19th century is James Madison, author of the Second Amendment. During Madison’s presidency (1809-17), Secretary of War James Monroe (who would succeed Madison as president), successfully promoted legislation to foster the development of firearms technology. In particular, the federal armories at Springfield, Mass., and Harpers Ferry, Va., were ordered to invent the means of producing firearms with interchangeable parts.

The argument that muskets were the only weapons available and that rifles that could fire multiple times were unheard of pure and utter ****. 

Do you think the man credited with being the author of the 2nd Amendment knew what the **** he meant?
