Really? I've never seen a definition in the Constitution for those. I even pulled it up and didn't see a list of definitions in there. We're in a country where a perhaps majority of people think that "AR" self-evidently stands for "assault rifle", and a good chunk of the populace considers mask mandates an infringement. So yeah, I really think definitions are important. If we were to just make assumptions about what "arms" was at the time of the framing, and considering that at the time, private citizens could own their own cannons, warships, and whatever else they could dream up, I suppose that means I could go get myself a Nimitz class carrier for a party boat --- or at least an A10 to cruise the skies.
Again, I'd like to know where in the Consitution illegal aliens are mentioned. Could you be so kind as to point it out?
You won't find a definition of "a", "and" and "the" along with most of the words used in the Constitution in the Constitution. Peruse a dictionary if you are confused or in doubt. I recommend "Johnson's Dictionary of the English Language, c. 1755" . It is contemporary with the writing of the Constitution. There is no need to make assumptions of what words meant.
Boy, a Nimitz class carrier would make one hell of a party barge, wouldn't it! Per the Second Added Article to the Constitution - AKA the Second Amendment - there is nothing to stop you from buying one provided you could find someone willing to sell it to you or build one for you - except a lack of money, maybe. Same thing with an A-10, or F-22 ...
Congress is authorized to create law to control immigration in Article I, Section 8, Clause 4. The Constitution doesn't mention illegal immigration(aliens) directly, but Congress is authorized "...to make all laws necessary and proper for carrying into execution the foregoing powers, ...".
