The right to bear arms, clearly predates the Atomic weapon.

A free people ought not only to be armed, but disciplined; to which end a uniform and well-digested plan is requisite; and their safety and interest require that they should promote such manufactories as tend to render them independent of others for essential, particularly military, supplies.

In Judaism, life is valued above almost all else. The Talmud notes that all people are descended from a single person, taking a life is like destroying an entire world, saving a single life is like saving an entire world. In Islam, He who kills a soul unless it be (in legal punishment) for murder or for causing disorder and corruption on the earth will be as if he had killed all humankind; and he who saves a life will be as if he had saved the lives of all humankind.” Can't we all get along!

The beauty of the second amendment is that it will not be needed until they try to take it.

Firearms are second only to the Constitution in importance; they are the peoples' liberty's teeth.

The right to bear arms? What about the right to live?
