IF a 'dirty bomb' is used, it won't matter much anymore after that. Nukes can't even be considered an option, not on our own soil. to go with the total arms not infringed argument, if you could afford to build and maintain a nuke, why shouldn't you?

The problem is that this won't solve anything, it won't lower the risk level, the "legal" weapons will be stolen or wrenched from the hands of the panicked civilian who deems it appropriate to us one of these on the perceived threat.
Why is it that all police are not armed with an Uzi, and H&K, or a B.A.R.?
The military is trained to fire three round bursts. Zealous civilians with too much fear and money and too little training don't need automatic weapons, anymore than they need flamethrowers or hand grenades.

until somewhere between 1934 and 1968, most men of any age knew how to use their weapons. It that particular time period though, a subversive element of this country managed to convince a sizable percentage of the urban population that they didn't need to be responsible for their own protection anymore. That self defense, especially with guns, was a repugnant idea and that we now had policeman who could take care of that responsibility for us. This was a wholly unamerican, and now a complete national security risk, idea. It's not only damn near destroyed us as a nation, but it's turned us from a free society in to something thats just steps away from the statist society that england has.
