> Bullets didn’t exist when the 2nd amendment was created

Uh, what? Wikipedia dates the first bullet to the 13th century:

> Fire lance barrels made of metal appeared by 1276.[30] Earlier in 1259 a pellet wad that filled the barrel was recorded to have been used as a fire lance projectile, making it the first recorded bullet in history

I think they’re referring to modern cartridge bullets, as opposed to little lead balls stored separately from the powder and whatever else is rammed down the barrel in preparation for the next short.

Indeed the first integrated cartridges were developed around 1808 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cartridge_(firearms)

Paper cartridges packaging one projectile with one shot's worth of powder were in widespread use in the 16h century.
