It wasn't all muskets, back then. The first fully automatic firearm had already been invented when the 2nd Amendment was written. And despite Biden lying about the fact that citizens couldn't buy a cannon, back then, civilians could, in fact, purchase, own, and use weapons of war. Considering the government didn't originally want a standing military force, citizens had to have access to higher caliber weapons used in war.

You know it wasn't taking about an actual established militia unit, like most people think of a militia, today, right? Most citizens in the country are, by default, already militia members.
