Perhaps it’s better to make your argument this way, rather than rallying for the right to own a nuke. That kind of ridiculous argument only hurts the rest of a legitimate point.

To use the language of our Founders, our Creator would not wish me to be without nuclear weapons if my enemies have them.

Please read my post #74. The meaning of the Constitution doesn't change just because we think it ought to.

Furthermore, EVERY significant weapon invention has been praised and feared due to the significant advantages that accrued to its users.

How do you think those who first faced the longbow in combat felt about having to face such a fearsome weapon?

How did those who first faced gun powder feel about it?

The machine gun in World War II was thought to be a decisively effective weapon, until the invention of the battle tank.

There is nothing magical about nuclear weapons. The United States used such weapons to good effect in World War II.

I already stated that I think it is a bad idea for just anybody to have a nuke. I also stated that the Constitution must be amended to infringe the right of the people to keep and bear arms. There was no intention by our Founders to limit the arms of the people in any way.
