IsItBullshit: The "right to bear arms" originally referred to having guns?
I recently finished an American history course which was pretty poorly taught. It focused on the years 1819-1900 The teacher only ever mentioned the U.S. Constitution in its relation to the Civil War. It's my understanding that the "right to bear arms" amendment now is used to legally defend owning prosthetic arms, but my buddy recently was talking about the possibility of another Civil War and said "at least we have the right to bear arms." I asked him how owning prosthetics would help us, and he laughed at me. When he realized I wasn't joking, he told me that "right to bear arms" means 'arms' as in guns, not literal arms. I thought owning guns was legally protected under the Sexton Amendment? Did my American history class just severely fail me?

Sadly not a troll. Looks like from the replies and some googling I’m just a fucking idiot
