My point is this, the legal stuff such as rifles and handguns is pretty useless against tanks and fighter planes. For the Second Amendment to actually work in keeping the people free from dictatorship then such things as antitank missiles or privately own and armed fighter planes should be allowed.
The Second Amendment said the right to bear arms shall not be infringed. Arms was not just firearms but cannon and sword and other weapons of war in 1776. Yet we the people have restricted the Second Amendment to only firearms and has taken such weapons as working antitank missiles or armed fighter jets from the public.
As such any rebellion by groups armed only with legal firearms can be crushed easily by the government. Only illegal weapons such as anti aircraft missiles can even give the rebels a chance.
We could make small nukes with our smoke detectors! ;)

Good Lord man!
Can you imagine what the place would be like if some of the freaks in our society already had them??? Thats the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard.
OK, lets play along.......how do I purchase a 40 million dollar fighter jet? Where do I park it? Where can I hire a team of engineers and mechanics to maintain it? Who does the flight coords and traffic control. Do they have fighter jet parking at the Starbucks? What about weapons readiness and such?
That may be true, but we have a lot of conservatives in the military who would, I would hope, understand their role with respect to the constitution.
