Does the right to bear arms cover AI guns and killer robots?

#artificialintelligence

The US 2nd Amendment right to keep and bear arms was added to the Constitution in 1791. In the two centuries since, firearm technology has changed significantly. In 1791, for example, US citizens were given the right to carry a single-shot firearm or sword in public. Because, well, that's all there was. In 2021, however, there exists a vast array of weaponry ranging from easily-concealed handguns to assault rifles capable of firing hundreds of rounds per minute with uncanny accuracy.
