"Virtually no one would support privately owned shoulder fired anti-aircraft weapons, or howitzers."

And yet that is exactly what the US supplied to Afghans to rid their country of the Soviets some years ago.

If Americans were beset by a similar enemy with total control of the air, that is exactly what we would seek and perhaps then a consensus would arise that the possession of such weapons is most certainly protected by the Second Amendment.

As for nuclear weapons, there is always the amendment process to change the Bill of Rights. If it took a nuclear weapon to free me and my loved ones from a tyrant, I would be completely justified in using it.

Our Founders would probably be very surprised that free people are so consistently allowing the government to mandate compulsory "education" at government schools and then are unwilling to protect those students as if they were their own children. That is government tyranny.

Oh good grief. 99.9999% of the population will not go where you are trying to go - unbanning privately owned nuclear weapons. You two are totally and utterly nuts.
