But lets update the technology from when 'right to bear arms' was written ...

If modern arms are cyber-warfare and information flow, then the arms to keep that power in check are computation, math, encryption, anonymity, private messaging, realtime chat, social networks, web graphics ...

So the right to bear arms in todays terms, I would argue, _is_ the right to a) private internet communications between parties and b) public information broadcast to everyone

That would certainly fit with the classification of encryption methods by the government as “munitions”.

p.s. web graphics?
