I ain't giving up until one of you gun-nuts tells me why it's okay for a naturalized muslim terrorist(or anybody else for that matter) to walk arround with a nuke.

It's an absurd argument. Give it a rest.

Its absurd to equate "walking around with nukes" with our RKBA's.

Nuclear materials, along with C&B agents, are dangerous to entire groups of people. They are much more than the 'arms' that we all have a right to carry.

Even us gun nuts can figure this.. - Why can't you?

Perhaps because it just isn't so.

Our Founders had no intention to restrict in any fashion the arms that would be kept by the people.

As an example, the First Amendment prohibits Congress from abridging freedom of speech. At the time this amendment was written the Internet didn't exist. There would have been no way for someone to violate a copyright by sending several million copies electronically in milliseconds at the push of a button. Our Founders MIGHT have considered this to be an important exception, but they didn't mention it. And it is NOT an exception.

Likewise, our Founders didn't consider the possibility that millions of people could be murdered in a flash at the push of a button. They might have considered this an important exception. BUT THEY DIDN'T !!!

What they did forsee was the periodic necessity to amend the Constitution. They explicitly stated how it was to be done. It has been successfully done over two dozen times. Such a mechanism is available whenever the PEOPLE decide to use it. But don't waste your breath suggesting to me that it be done until all illegal registrations of my firearms are destroyed, when it is legal for me to remove the serial number from my firearms, and when the tyrannical state of Kalifornia is prohibited from infringing my right to keep and bear arms.
