Please cite the NRA saying that individuals should be able to acquire nuclear weapons.

Maybe you didn't know, but you already can have a tank, that's never actually been illegal. However, tanks have never been considered in scope for the protections outlined by the second amendment, as 'arms' typically refer to 'bearable' weapons.

You do realize that all nine of the SCOTUS judges ruled in Heller that the right is individual, but 4 of them disagreed about the level of regulation, yes?

You do realize that a majority of americans disagree with your (and the ACLU's) interpretation?

Most people in the United States interpret their Constitution’s Second Amendment in the same fashion, according to a poll by Angus Reid Public Opinion. 81 per cent of respondents believe the Second Amendment means that individuals have the right to keep and bear arms.
