I mostly wasn't interested in the Court's interpretation. That can be argued in a million ways. And the Court isn't divine.

I've heard the argument that you are talking about. Originalist ends up being just like most everything else - people interpreting things a way that fits their argument when it's convenient. But setting aside original things (like the reality of arms that were flint lock), when that doesn't fit with what they want to argue (all weapons available without restriction).

It's like cherry picking Scripture to support an argument. Same thing, just a different document.
