The government is there to protect the voice of all sides, thus the First Amendment, the First Amendment does not say "Only when one sect of a population gets everything they want 100% of the time".
I was addressing the "musket" comment. If the right to own guns was intended to be limited to the technology available at the time (i.e. muskets), then by extension, so too would be the right to free speech (i.e., no protection when speaking over PA systems or writing on the internet).
To address the implication in your reply, my support for the right to own guns doesn't mean that I support the untrammelled right to own guns, or more powerful equipment. All rights have limits, and that is a good thing.
Right, and I agree, but right now at this point in history, it is way out of hand.
