How about grenades? Fully automatic guns? Semi-automatic? Single-shot pistols? Shotguns and rifles? I definitely think citizens have the right to own rifles, shotguns, and pistols, but I think citizens owning nuclear weapons and grenades would be disastrous. I'm not so sure about machine guns. I'm curious as to where everyone draws the line on the right to bear arms. Please state why you draw the line where you do.
Also, for those of you who think banning semi-automatic weapons is unconstitutional, do you think that commits you to the position that citizens should be allowed to own nuclear weapons? If not, how come? Personally, I would vote against a ban on semi-automatic weapons, but I wouldn't say banning them is unconstitutional.
Lib Nemesis, no need to resort to childish name-calling. If you'd read my whole question, you'd see that I'm not suggesting that gun rights advocates are in favor of nuclear weapons being made legal for citizens. In fact I generally oppose gun control, and just want to know where people draw the line on the issue. Reported for insulting content.
