I equate them with the 2nd Amendment folks who believe they should be able to own howitzers, chemical weapons, or nuclear bombs.

The government has the authority to own howitzers, chemical weapons, or nuclear bombs, needless to say. Where do you suppose they got that authority? Where does the power of the government come from under our Constitution?
