According to Wikipedia, the Fletchers and these new LCS were about the same displacement…. THAT IS CRAZY.
There are so many places that a modern Fletcher would kick ass, with 5 independently controllable 5 inch fast firing guns - never mind the 40mm and 20mm guns, and swap out the torpedo mounts for some vertical launch tubes…. F the helicopter. Use them as dedicated body-guards for ships transiting the Straits of Hormuz…. Let the IRG run their little speed boats. Put a re-enforced bow on them so that they can ram stuff….
The Second Amendment ACKNOWLEDGES our right to own and bear arms that are in common use that can be used for lawful purposes. The arms can be restricted ONLY if subject to historical analogue from the founding era or is dangerous (unsafe) AND unusual.
It's that simple.
