Founding Father's View of the Second Amendment

I saw this clip recently and and I think it offers a realistic, comedically precise, interpretation of how the "founding fathers" would react to the application of the Second Amendment today. Obviously, we will never really know how they would feel unless we could actually interview them. But I think that historical perspective is very important when interpreting the US Constitution. Laws frequently change and evolve to deal with changing times and technology. I think that those who have a strict, narrow interpretation of the Second Amendment need to reexamine the history and the context surrounding it.  What do you think?
