Do you agree that the Constitution provides for privateers?
If so, what Constitutionally imposed restrictions are there on what weapons may be deployed.
Do not try to make this into a discussion of you trying to corner me into advocating NBC use, especially first strike use because that isn't the issue.
You are acting as an advocate of 'common sense' arms control, and being such, you want to impose 'reasonable' restrictions on what other people may own. Obviously the Founders never considered automatic weapons or long-range rifles.
Does this sound familiar? Your desire to restrict other based upon what you don't think someone else needs is no different in principle than HCI, just not as restricitve.
My position that the Constitution does not deny the individual the right to own any weapon does not imply approval of any improper use of that weapon, be it a nuke or a slingshot.
If you have a Letter of Marquee issued by the Congress, we can talk about what weapons would be permissible.
For those people without the Letter of Marquee, the Second Amendment attains, and we are isolating and discussing this topic.
