I'm just kind of curious here.
Does anyone suppose that the folks writing the 2nd Amendment in the late 18th century envisioned the type of "arms" we have available today in the 21st century?
And...if they could have, do you suppose the 2nd Amendment would have read exactly the same way?
Hmmmmmmmmmmm????????
LilDarlin, You're being very feminine. Your question got me this far; -- are you implying that 'we the people' shouldn't have the right to own the same weapons of war we give to our governments?
Perhaps, if you think about that, -- it will take you the rest of the way, leading you to the rational idea that in order to protect our liberties, we have to be able to defend them.
Not implying anything, simply asking.
And...quid pro quo....if my government has nuclear weapons, then I want one (or more) also...or at least the right - using your arguement - to have them, personally!
