Neither does it say you can own any weapon available either. Machine guns didn't exist in the late 1700's.

The straw man, slippery slope argument for gun grabber apologists puts you in the same camp as Mrs. Clinton.
When you can figure out how to use a nuke in defense of your home and property, without incinerating you, your family, and your property in the process, we'll entertain your request for a tactical nuke. Until then, we will consider your absurd raising of the issue as a means to obfuscate the real meaning of the Amendment to be typical for your level of understanding, therefore we will now ignore you.
