re: #61 mensamann

I think nukes are covered by the second amendment….? No?

Well, the right of the people to keep and bear arms presumably does not exclude nuclear arms…

I always recall a story I once read about a U.S. or Brit unit going through some area in Afghanistan some years back, doing a cash-for-weapons trade. One man had a Soviet tank in his yard, and he wouldn’t sell it to them because it was a trophy of war taken by his late brother.

Brother must have been one hell of a fighting man, that is ALL I have to say about that.

I personally believe that the ‘well-regulated militia’ aspect is important to a good understanding of the second amendment, and have a whole little plan for local militia organization based around that, but heck, I don’t know if I want the Richmond, CA militia to have a nuke…it would probably be fired off on New Years Eve, just to celebrate.
