But the line would be just fine drawn at not allowing NBC (nuclear, biological, chemical) weapons except a couple, like pepper spray.

Random question: Do you think the Second Amendment gives any hints as to where the line should be drawn? (A sword is an “arm”, certainly, and probably would have been part of what people thought of at the end of the 18th century when they thought of ”arms”. Two centuries later we talk about “arms control treaties” and an “arms race”, but I’ve read a bunch of RKBA advocates take it for granted that the Second Amendment does not apply to that particular subset of “arms”. It’s obvious to me as well that the Right to Keep and Bear Bunker-Busters or the Right to Keep and Bear A-Bombs would be a very very bad idea, but I’m curious if you think there’s something in the Second Amendment as the Framers intended it to be understood that makes it clear which category of arms it covers.

Just curious what you think; of course, the Second Amendment was written long before the Fourteenth Amendment and the Incorporation Doctrine anyway, so this is a pretty theoretical exercise.
