Yet you still haven’t answered the question. Let’s assume somehow you acquire, or build, a MOAB. Should you legally be allowed to keep that weapon? And if not, what would be the constitutional prohibition against you owning it?
I’m not obligated to answer your facetious question.
If a person can acquire the components to assemble a MOAB in their garage, then the laws controlling those components need to be looked at closely.
The point is, that there is no CONSTITUTIONAL prohibition against owning a MOAB, and that any law that specifically targets your ownership of said bomb is, prima facie, unconstitutional.
“A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”
This amendment says nothing of “approved” arms, or “ineffective” arms, or even “reasonable” arms...
And the exact same arguments when applied to the first amendment are treated as farcical.
How big a word is protected by the first amendment?
How effective is your speech allowed to be and still be covered?
Is only reasonable and safe speech protected?
How about assault speech?
Yes, speech has consequences, and fighting words don’t get constitutional protection from bloody noses, but prior restraint, as a doctrine violates the first amendment and is well recognized as doing so, even by the idiot supreme court.
The exact same unlimited nature must be granted the second. It’s the unreasonable speech that requires constitutional protection, the offensive, unpopular, and non-PC opinions that some might refer to as hate-speech, or anti-government rhetoric.
Safe, pro-government, non-offensive speech would never require the protection of the first amendment. Those in power would never see the need to regulate those who follow them in agreement.
The second amendment must be interpreted to protect the right to own weapons that “nobody needs” like bazookas and MOABs or it is useless. Those in power would never see the need to regulate rubber-band guns, so long as they have access to the arms of the police and military.
The second amendment serves only one purpose: to remind those in power that they hold those positions only so long as we the people acquiesce.
