So, if the right to keep and bear arms isn't absolute, then you and I are just arguing about where to draw the line.
I hate it when gun owner types take the "I am the pure defender of the intention of the founding fathers" angle. It just doesn't hold up under scrutiny.

In some ways I actually agree with you.
Since I too don't think nuclear weapons should be privately held, we are just arguing where to draw the line.
BUT!
You haven't addressed any of the points I made in the original post.
Should I take your silence to mean agreement that the AWB is a joke and that bans on these guns are based more on irrational fear and not for practical reasons*?
(Practical reasons that I
could argue is a good reason that nuclear weapons shouldn't be privately owned, btw.)
