Hahah... touche.
But I don't expect the American government to use nukes on its own people in an oppression situation. Not that I expect our government to suddenly turn around and oppress us, but I have a strong feeling that the intent behind the amendment had to do with the people's power to maintain their hard-won freedom, even if from their own government. So perhaps what should be considered is what level of weapon would be likely to be used by a government on its own people?
Understand that I discuss this academically. Myself, I choose not to own a firearm. But I feel that by maintaining my right to do so, I help guarantee that I'll never wish I did.
