"where does the limit fall, with the extreme being tactical nuclear weapons or 155mm Howitzers?"

That would be up to each state, given that the states are charged with forming state Militias. If Congress prohibits 155mm howitzers, the states can appeal to the courts, saying that it infringes on their Militia.

"Are citizens to be allowed these as well?"

Again, that's up to each state. If the state wants its citizens to take certain weapons home or store some of the larger ones in an armory, that's up to each state. It is not the federal government's business.

Would you support disbanding the BATFE?
