I once had a debate with a gun supporter and brought up the issue that when the 'right to bear arms' law was written, it didn't take into account the evolution of weapons. At the time of writing the only firearms one could get were single shot pistols, rifles and cannons. I don't believe for a second that the founding fathers ever envisioned people walking the streets with weapons that can fire over 100 rounds per minute.
The law was meant to ensure that citizens have weapons to overthrow a corrupt government so that opression like from the British would never happen again.
Instead weapons are used for just about everything today, except what they were originally meant for. One could wonder how much use that law is today since any sort of rebellion would probably be seen as an act of terrorism or something.
