"The intent of the law was to prevent the government from militarily taking over the nation. This was back in the days where the citizenry and the government had access to pretty much the same weaponry. In 2012, well, lets just say that your personal arsenal wouldnt be much of a match for Marines with BDMs or a Naval Carrier Group with fully loaded warplanes." I agree there is such a problem with the second amendment. However, it can be fixed with a simple amendment. The constitution needs to allow private ownership of nuclear devices. I'm sure, had the Founding Fathers anticipated nuclear bombs, private ownership of them would have been written into the constitution.

Too limiting.
A Constitutional Amendment shouldn't be restricted to specific fads, such as nuclear or particle beam weapons that can come and go.
