We should privatize nuclear weapons. It explicitly says so somewhere in the 2nd Amendment penumbra. (sheesh)

Leaving nukes out of it, for now: Most people focus on things like "assault weapons" of various flavors. Can you give me any Constitutional reason why I should not be permitted to own, say, a military version M-16 (without all the extra paperwork now required for the select few civilians who do)?

Since I don't live in Texas I don't have any right to decide how the good people of Texas choose to self-govern themselves there. The courts have upheld time and again reasonable restrictions on gun ownership, but what is reasonable for a community should be up to the community in question.
