re: Debunk this liberal LIE: “The 2nd Amendment allows me to own WMD’s!”

At it’s core, the spirit of the second amendment is that you have the fundamental right to defend yourself. That you are not required to outsource your self preservation to government.
WMDs are fundamentally offensive weapons. If you are attacked and you drop a WMD on the attacker, you die right along side them. WMDs are not effective tools of self defense. Guns are. And we have the right to defend ourselves

As strict textualists, patriots,and small government conservatives, we don’t do the “spirit of” the amendments.
We transport ourselves back in to the minds of the Founders to ascertain exactly what they meant in their 18th century prescience based on the black and white words on the paper.
Please govern yourself accordingly from here on out.

Defend yourself from what? What if the government is coming after me with aircraft? Should I be allowed to purchase a Stinger missile?
I know that is a ridiculous example, but I'm trying to find where the line is drawn, if it should be drawn at all.
