Back on track...lol, I think that there's a certain allure and definitely a convenience in imagining that the founding fathers (or subsequent amenders) had Something Better™ or Not Quite as Shitty™ in mind...when penning the second amendment. That..somehow, the deficiency was not their own..but a failure on our part, today, to properly understand their wise and noble intent.
Guns are covered in and of themselves in the second, as property in the fifth, and as other unmentioned in the ninth. It's a tight box. The founders got it wrong, if it's wrong. The bill of rights, is wrong...if it's wrong.
(lol, you know that drunken hessian thing is propaganda- but yes, a surprise attack with overwhelming force in tight quarters under urban terrain favors non-conventional forces. That was as true then as it is now. I was referring, specifically, to their engagement at the bridge. They held their ground and returned fire, a temporary reversal of fate for both parties)
