So why don't we allow people to own hand grenades, bombs, or nuclear weapons? Is there any limit to what should be allowed?

Where I live, everyone owns what they need to protect themselves.

I need a few more hand grenades, but I'll trade and barter for them.

Those things are "Ordinance". They are not "Arms". The writers of the bill of rights knew the difference then, too.

Please show me the laws saying I can't own these. Not the laws pertaining to licenses. I can show you the law stating if I have a firearm that has a Flash suppressor, pistol grip, and collapsible stock made after Sep 1994 I am committing a crime.

I don't support civilian ownership of nuclear weapons, however, you may make your case and try to convince us.

You've obviously bought into the "assault weapons" ban based upon the emotional term "assault weapon". Congrats you're another republican who has bought into leftist propaganda. All they had to do is make it sound bad in the title and that was enough to win you over.

NO!!! The intent of the 2nd ammendment was to allow for the people chage governments if the government is non-compliant.
