While on the theoretical level I agree with you... Good luck legalizing personal nukes. Or grenade launchers for that matter.

I’d love to have one. Not sure that’s gonna happen any time soon. I might suggest that our efforts now are best spent preventing further erosion of our gun rights.

One need only look to Iraq to see what is needed to fight a well-equipped invader. It most certainly does include explosives of all types, including grenade launchers and anti-tank weapons. And air power.

The liberals make the mistake of always associating the value of arms with the non-government misuse of them that appears in the liberal media. My rifles have never killed anybody nor have they been used in any crimes. Nor is there any significant risk that ANY arms owned by me will be misused.

Criminals and terrorists will use whatever the world will supply as weapons, regardless of the laws. One hundred years ago there were virtually no federal controls on arms whatever. Somehow the Republic survived it. The National Firearms Act of 1934 was a knee-jerk reaction to the lawlessness created by alcohol prohibition. The gangsterism associated with the illegal drug trade today is totally unaffected by anti-gun laws. Only the law-abiding are affected.
