@GodfreyHendrix Yes I agree. the wording is clear "shall not be infringed" means pretty much everything should be legal.

That said I think there is at least some merit to the whole "should people own nuclear weapons" argument. So where is the line?

For me there are two tiers of logic to draw the line:

1) Anything that any agent of the government is allowed on american soil and is allowed to be used against american citizens (read: police or national guard) is a weapon an american should be allowed own.

2) Fuck it let them own nukes and tanks. Just make it so the government agencies, private agencies, and people have the same criteria. They must go through some sort of licensing and inspection to ensure they qualify but this process is accessible to anyone who has the education and training and other conditions.

Of the two I can understand #2 but myself would lean towards #1
