of course the framers probably could never have imagined anything on the scale of nuclear weapons. But yes, if the state can have them, then why not the people?


To be very simplistic about it, it is the state that has far too much power. Perhaps the people should never have let the state develop these weapons and build a military far beyond what is needed to defend it's people.

sort of a maddening question, but it does point out how out of wack things are, we really are not free.
