There is no "except for" in the 2d Amendment.
You can bet that General Jackson was glad to have the pirate Jean Lafitte and his Baratarians on his side at the Battle of New Orleans.
Fury? Nah. More like amused.
I have to wonder who or what is advising FJB about the coming election. I guess there are "progressive" voters who think FJB's public announcements are right on, but if they are 10% of the USA electorate I would be surprised.

A 45/70 will kill anything at any range that you can hit it. Because of the high trajectory, hitting something, hitting it is the problem.

More like 60 years ago, and it seems to perform the same. And Universal seems to be about the same as Unique.
Here is a discussion of old vs new Unique, circa 2015:

60-odd years ago, Ihelped a friend load 45-70-500 cartridges for original trap-door Springfields. As I remember, we used 13 grains of Unique as our load approximating the original black powder load. He never had a problem with excess pressures. The Lyman Handbook of Cast Bullets gives aload of...
Another reason to be glad I live in Louisiana. We have "shoot the burglar" and "shoot the carjacker" laws. One does not need any sort of license to carry a loaded firearm in one's vehicle; it is considered to be the same as one's home. In 2012, there was a change to the Louisiana constitution...
It is an original Navy Rolling Block that has had the barrel and fore stock shortened. The original front sight is missing. I have been shooting paper patched projectiles that I pour into my version of the Ideal Cylindrical Adjustable Mold

You can get a good idea of a bore size by driving a soft lead round ball into the muzzle and out through the breech, and measuring with a vernier caliper.
Back before the GCA '68, I had a Boys .55 Anti-tank rifle.
It was a fun toy, but I gave it to a friend when the new law passed. I was going back into the Army and didn't want to deal with registering it during the amnesty period. I heard some of them were rebarreled to .50 BMG
From what I've read, the USA had a million or so muzzle loading rifles left over from the War of Northern Aggression. Springfield Armory ( or maybe Remington ) may have used some of these to test out different configurations of new versions of their Rolling Blocks.
