Sorry, I don’t buy it. There is nothing in the Constitution to prevent me from owning a nuke. At the time, probably the most destructive weapon was a cannon and private people DID own cannons. When they put these cannons on their private ships, they were called privateers.

Sorry, I don’t buy it.

If you don't agree with me, I'm detonating this nuke.

I might have to disagree.

In the Federalist Papers there is a quote about how freedom would remain as long as the common citizen had the same access to arms as the common soldier.

So I take that to mean machine guns and rockets are in and nukes and mustard gas are out.

I agree and there is nothing that says a weapon must be discriminating.
