"Can you demonstrate one time or place, throughout all history, where the average person was made safer by restricting access to handheld weapons?"
Damn. I know that off the top of my head I can't.
And here is a question of my own. Why would the very intelligent writers of the Constitution have spelled out all the powers and duties of the Federal Government, Reserved very certain powers and duties for the States, and written a Bill of Rights with 10 Amendments, 9 of which are the Rights of the People, but included one that is a Right for the State or Federal Government? Doesn't make sense. Of course, neither does any argument against private ownership of firearms. Saying that the 2nd Amendment is a collective right is like saying that only the Government can say what they want, or print what they want, or they don't have to incriminate themselves in a trial. The logic doesn't exist.

Hey, like that time they tried to outlaw alcohol! That worked real well.
The only possible way to restrict the average person from any hand help weapon is a padded room(with no upholstery buttons), and that's not normal history:) I was raised with a combination of martial arts and living history. They both tought me that a weapon can range from a cannon to a feather. With proper instruction, and good a amount of courage, no one is entirely defenseless.
As for your question, time changes everything. Especially general morals, and socially accepted behavior. Too many creative thinkers.
I guess I'm one of those people who think WAY TOO MUCH!LOL
