On the one hand, I'm of the belief that 2a covers anything you can arm yourself. On the other hand, things like gas and nukes are so ridiculously indiscriminate as to be uncontrollable in a way. But for everything else, I would point out that if someone can actually afford a tank or helicopter, they probably won't flip out and do crazy things. The same applies to full autos and currently legal large caliber rifles. I'm pretty sure we can agree that one loony with a Barrett 50 could do unheard of damage, yet it doesn't happen - thank god. I don't know, I just prefer the view point that our status as free men and women, able to live how we wish and own what we will is a hell of allot more important than any degree of hypothetical safety.
