Certainly our nations top politicians at the time could not have possibly had the technical crystal ball to envision the powerful killing machines available now. So, in my most humble opinion, we should maintain a strict interpretation of the 2nd Amendment to only include weapons that were available when it was written. (Oh yeah, there's also that little bit about well regulated militias that everyone tends to ignore).
