Now the military has aircraft carriers and submarines with gigantic firepower, chemical weapons, biological weapons, nuclear weapons. Individuals will NEVER be allowed to own these.

All of these examples are artillary, not arms.

It also ignores the fact that civilian merchant ships during the Founders time were heavily armed with CANNONS.

So technically, battle ships would be just fine. At a few hundred million a pop though, I don't think Opra or Gates would be much of a threat.

I was informed and shown on another gun thread that "arms" are NOT merely those weapons which can be carried in the arms as I was arguing but is more general. It means weapons and is derived from the Latin word meaning "tool".
