In the Bill of Rights, second amendment,

Verbatim:

"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."

-------------------

How do you interpret this, and can you justify your answer?

-- Does it simply mean that U.S. citizens have the right to bear any weapon? Could someone have a "read-to-go" atomic bomb and claim that their right to have it is protected by the second amendment?

I dont think nuclear weapons are classified as small arms.

Or even destructive weapons. Or even militairy-grade weapons.
What point are you trying to make?

Assault rifles is enough for a well-regulated civilian militia, the NG can do the rest.

His point is that the constitution makes no distinction between atomic bombs and bb guns.

Which is the logical problem with the Constitution. Other than it's existence being merely political.

Every citizen has the right to fight against tyranny.

Like all rights, it can be abused.

Sounds good,

I'll now proceed to persecute you for not following my religion and for speaking out against the government, since the bill of rights doesn't apply anymore.

Much in the same way that we should ignore Newton's Laws of Motion, since there were no automobiles to apply them to when they were theorized.

Doesn't specifically refer to weapons.

Maybe it was supposed to refer to human arms, or the right to own arms from a bear? We'll never know!
