Cannons may be legal but are not protected by the second amendment anymore than a nuclear weapon would be.

Cannons are arms, and our right to own them cannot be infringed upon. However, ~using~ them can be reasonably regulated.
Nukes/chem/bio weapons are indiscriminate hazards, thus their very ownership can be so 'regulated', by rule of law, as to limit possession to national defensive purposes.
