Should the Buk Missile System Be Covered By the 2nd Amendment? (Congress, legal)

[borregokid]

Lets say you are a Tea Partier-Militia member in Texas, Arizona, or California and the Russkies sell you a Buk missile system. Would you be outraged if the gubbermint seized your missiles? Shouldnt they be covered by the 2nd Amendment. Wouldnt you be outraged and the seizure of your missiles?

Need to defend ourselves against those pesky robbers and passing Apache gunships!

Seriously? Your former discussion regarding the second ammendment has devolved to this?

Of course they are protected by the 2nd Amendment. The 2nd Amendment states: "the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed."

If you can afford to buy the system, you can afford to buy a congresscritter to ensure you will be allowed to keep it!

Well, why don't we let people own nuclear bombs then? Let's make Abrams tanks street legal; road rage would be non-existent!

Isnt the Buk kind of primitive. Kind of like a shotgun loaded with double 0 buck. You fire it off and it explodes and sends out large ball bearings capable of taking down an airliners. Would you ban shotguns loaded with double O buck?

I would not mind owning an A10 Warthog and I think I should be able to under the 2nd. The gun part would be covered but the government would license me to fly the thing.

Don't forget the anti-tank rockets.

And the laws banning us from owning them are unconstitutional. The 2nd Amendment was written so that the citizenry could be armed so as to fight off and overthrow tyrannical government. If our government has war planes, the the 2nd Amendment allows us to own anti-aircraft missile systems. If our government has nuclear arms, then the 2nd Amendment allows us to have nuclear arms too.
