Anything the military has, the people should also have (if they can afford to pay for it on the open market), so as to keep the government in check, to defend the nation as a whole should it become necessary, or simply to defend themselves. That was and is the whole point of the Second Amendment.
That's also why the UN really wants it to go away.

So you think it is ok if private citizens, at least the ones who could afford it, owned tactical nuclear weapons and ICBMs? You don't see any problem with that?
