Not sure it matters more than an anthill, but"when they were wrote the Second originally was gonna be the first." Another statement of "fact" that is not provided with substantiation. Please provide proof of that statement for all to judge it's veracity. Not saying it's not true, just needs to be openly vetted.

I personally think the 2nd amendment has been misinterpreted for years by not honoring the principle noun of the sentence, "militia", and it's modifiers, "well regulated", and the fact that "the people" is plural. Nothing there grammatically infers a "right" to an individual person to me. Of course, I'm not a constitutional lawyer, but I also doubt any on this forum are.

The Second Amendment definitely infers a "Right". It's even specifically stated "The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed". Now there are Laws prohibiting the use of Firearms in criminal circumstances but that's separate to the right of Gun ownership.
So none of the 2nd worshipers want to answer the question asked about whether it is infringement to own a nuke? You guys always seem to stop at that one. Tanks? RPGs? Ballistic missiles? Any restrictions at all?A Nuke isn't a Firearm it's an explosive so it doesn't apply to the 2nd Amendment as well as the other ridiculous examples you stated.
I know..it's powerful to have to think about stuff, but put your soft little noggins together. Maybe you'll come up with something. Originally Posted by TechPapi
