The state of Massachusetts and all of the gun haters got slapped down with a 8-0 decision by the Supreme Court. They tried the old argument that you are only allowed muskets because that what the founders had.
You can read the whole decision here. It starts on page 15 and is 11 pages. Justice Alito does a fine job of taking the state and all gun haters down a notch. The last statement says it all.
Emphasis mine.
A very big thanks to Miguel
While stun guns were not in existence at the end of the 18th century, the same is true for the weapons most commonly used today for self-defense, namely, revolvers and semiautomatic pistols. Revolvers were virtually unknown until well into the 19th century, and semiautomatic pistols were not invented until near the end of that century. Electronic stun guns are no more exempt from the Second Amendment’s protections, simply because they were unknown to the First Congress, than electronic communications are exempt from the First Amendment, or electronic imaging devices are exempt from the Fourth Amendment.

If the fundamental right of self-defense does not protect Caetano, then the safety of all Americans is left to the mercy of state authorities who may be more concerned about disarming the people than about keeping them safe.
Emphasis mine.
