The government has nuclear weapons. Should private citizens be allowed to own nuclear weapons?
And before you go off half cocked accusing me of all sorts of things, I’m just interested in your opinion
The purpose of the 2nd is to allow us (the people) to have a fighting chance at repelling intrusive/tyrannical government.
That was the purpose of militias.

Nuclear weapons exist to end wars or prevent wars between nations. Guns are to surgically pin point the specific people responsible for war or attempted subjugation.
Certainly. If you can afford it, and have no legal reason to be prohibited, M1 Abrams tanks, F22 Raptors, etc, etc. The only limit should be what you can afford. To say otherwise opens the door to the “sensible” gun control premise. What is sensible to those that would want the populace unarmed is a long way away from what I think is sensible (see above).
ok... i will play... if you are in the white house and the country has gone full revolution.... the masses are at the gates and you and your family are about to be killed or worse.... the only way out is a nuke.... would you use it, yes or no? if the answer i yes, then we have the right to possess nuclear weapons also...
Kind of an extreme example don’t you think?
