How about you leap you can answer the question. Try to answer just the question without any personal attacks.
Look again, my response was to this specific portion of your post.Quote from bigarrow:
They were simple ideas in the quotes. I understood completely. It is you who fails to read what I wrote without bias.

It looks like that view is conjecture. We don't know what the writers of the constitution would say about gun permits in today's society...
What is your OPINION on what the founders would say about private ownership of nuclear weapons today ?
The 'infantry rule' = balance imo too. And if not, then at a bare minimum, whatever CIVILIAN agents are allowed to bear needs to be available to private CIVILIANS as well.Quote from LEAPup:
Our Founding Fathers left a tyrannical government behind, and risked their asses (literally!), to form a truly free country. At the time the Constitution was written, our Founders intended the people be armed with the same weaponry used by a military to defend the country. Then, that meant muskets, pistols, and cannons... For the last 100yrs, our government has grown further from the Constitution than ever, and to date (thanks Onazi, and sheep), is no better than the tyrannical government our Founders left. Nukes were created during the last 100yrs. I don't agree with nukes, so I wouldn't agree a free American should have nukes. I will say, however, a free American should be able to own small arms, meaning machine guns, m67 grenades, etc., with no regulations. Why? To protect the Country from a tyrannical government while using similar weapons that the tyrannical government would order it's military to use against the people.

Jesus Christ that's a needlessly long damn paragraph. So I take it you are for some arms control. Like I said it's just a matter of degree.
Quote from bigarrow:
We do not know what the framers would think about gun permits or background checks today. Hell if you lived three hundred years from now you wouldn't know all the thoughts even yourself would have. Of course it's completely conjecture on my thinking that the founders would be against individuals owning nuclear weapons just like it would be conjecture to think they would be for individuals owning nuclear weapons. It's a silly argument anyway. Like I've said before for most reasonable Americans it's a discussion of degree.
