I mean, according to le enlightened redditors, it somehow makes more sense that you should be able to own a grapeshot-filled cannon that turns people into chunks of meat rather than a standard caliber handgun.They also overlook the existence of privateers. Under the Bruen decision, I should be able to own a fully armed battleship.
Though what really bugs me is the idea of modern NPCs that everyone in the past was stupid because they didn't carry smartphones around or be able to buy luxury cat beds off Amazon using a smart refrigerator. This isn't limited to leftists (see: ancient aliens people), but you see it a lot with them on constitutional topics. As if people 200 years ago, who were biologically indistinct from us in terms of brain structure and capacity, just couldn't imagine a firearm that took less time to load, carried more ammunition, was smaller, and could shoot more rapidly than what they had access to. No, clearly those stone age dummies thought that the world was technologically stagnant and the principles that they thoughtfully laid out after much debate wouldn't take into account basic mechanical improvement of the most elementary functions of firearms. We enlightened moderns just know better, after all.
