Nothing to laugh about
the way the 2nd amendment is written, the purpose is for that of balance between the power of the government and the power of the governed
when it was written, the government forces had single shot muzzle loaders and the second amendment gave citizens the right to have single shot muzzle loaders
a hundred years later, when repeating rifles became available to the government forces the second amendment also gave citizens the right to have repeating rifles
now, we're another hundred years later and the government forces have access to nuclear weapons
the spirit AND the letter of the second amendment gives citizens the right to bear nuclear weapons
now, i want to be clear, i dont advocate for citizens having nuclear weapons BUT i do believe the second amendment gives them the right to do so
