Second Amendment's illogical conclusion | Letter
CJ Letter
I am curious if Mr. Milby - Reader's Forum "Weapons of war protected by Second Amendment" March 8, 2017 - believes that Second Amendment rights extend to nuclear weapons. If not, where does he draw the line on the spectrum of weapons between, say, rocks and any weapons of mass destruction? In addition to nuclear bombs, are chemical weapons covered by the Second Amendment? What about lasers from satellites? Ballistic missiles? As a private citizen, I just want to know what I and my fellow citizens have a right to own and use in order to defend ourselves from tyranny, government or otherwise. Or, maybe the interpretation of the Second Amendment should be more nuanced than Mr. Milby proclaims.
