Here is a simple test, Sneakypete.

1) Did the Founders intend for the federal government to decide which arms the people shall be permitted to keep and bear?

2) Should an individual be permitted to possess or use a nuclear weapon?

The answer to number 1 is "NO".
The answer to number 2 is "NO".

Gee...What a dilemma!

Here's the solution:

Amendment XXX: Congress shall have the power to prohibit the possession or use of nuclear weapons.

Please humor me by providing your answers to the two simple questions above.

Among other things, you have now concluded that I am an anti-gunner. I own at least fifteen firearms, five of which I must store in Nevada because anti-gunners in Kalifornia are terrified of rifles with pistol grips.

No,but nukes aren't "Arms" as the word was defined in the 18tg,19th,and 20th centuries. "Arms" were things you shouldered. Nukes as well as bio and chemical weapons are weapons of mass destruction,not arms.

2) Should an individual be permitted to possess or use a nuclear weapon?

Of course not. Nor should people be allowed to have chemical or biological weapons.
