If the right to bear arms is God-given, or a basic human right, is there a limit in your opinion to what type of weaponry an individual citizen should be able to own?
(This next question might seem crazy, but parts of it have already been touched upon in this thread)
Should people be able to own anti-tank missiles, or SAMs? Is there a limit? If so
who decides where that limit is? How do we interpret just where God intended that limit to be drawn? (very genuinely, I'm not trying to be facetious here. Just I don't know that is is spelt out anywhere).
If there is absolutely
NO limit then are we prepared to allow people access to small nuclear devices? If we don't are we infringing their freedom?
Because, after all, nukes dont kill people, people do.

To answer my own question - I'd say the reasonable place to draw the line would be fully automatic military style rifles
