Not only does the 1840 TN Supreme Court say the legislature can make laws with regard to weapons, it calls it “absurd” to contend they would not be able to do so. 
The 1840 Tennessee Supreme Court ruling says to argue the legislature can’t make gun laws would be to “pervert a great political right to the worst of purposes” and make it a “social evil infinitely greater than abandoning the right entirely” tnholler.com/2023/05/tennes…
The 1840 Tennessee Supreme Court ruling imagined “ruffians” entering theaters and churches with guns to terrorize “habitually” — saying it was “surely not” beyond the legislature’s power to do something about it.
