    A gun isn't armed without bullets. Duh.

    Any militia without bullets is a sitting duck.

    And it would be a violation of "shall not be infringed" to ... you know... infringe.

    Arm/Arms A definition from a dictionary

    noun

    3. Any instrument or instrumentality used in fighting or hunting

    Would anyone argue that a gun without bullets fills the above definition?

    Verb

    1. Prepare oneself for a military confrontation

    I hope no one would consider being prepared, is armed without bullets?
    But on the other hand, it does seem rather Progressive, and Democrat.

    When was that dictionary written? If it was written after 1790, we can't accept it.

    You have not presented evidence that the founding fathers meant for those guns to be loaded.

    No one calls ammunition 'arms'. In fact "Arms and Ammunition" is a rather frequently heard phrase. Do you think it means "bullets and bullets"?
