The Unlimited Power of the Sword

[Gabu]

If the Founding Fathers had known about nuclear bombs and whatnot, I really think that they would have added an exception for something like that.  Either way, if someone tried to use the second amendment to make nukes legal and succeeded, a constitutional amendment to make them illegal would get passed so fast it'd make his head spin.

Before we can talk about possesing nukes for recreational purposes, we need to worry more about stupid gun laws.

Before we can talk about possessing nukes for recreational purposes, we also need to forget about rationality and being sane.

No private person has sufficient funds to develop a nuclear weapon, so we need not really worry about this possibility.

Suppose a suspected terrorist, who is an American citizen, purchases a nuclear bomb from, say, some unscrupulous Russian arms dealer.  Then this terrorist comes back to America.  The FBI knows that he's a suspected terrorist and knows that he has a nuclear bomb in his possession, but according to this person, since he is (so far) a law-abiding American citizen, we should not be able to do anything about the fact that he has a nuclear bomb, because it should be okay for people in America to be carrying nukes around.
