Correct.The second amendment protects the right to bear [b]arms. All arms.
That includes jets. That includes missile launchers. That includes nuclear powered submarines.
The reason private citizens can not own these things, is because the government illegally infringes upon these rights. [/B]
On to your point.
No one has "extra" rights over any other.
The Government doesn't get more Freedom of Speech because they're the Government.
Everyone gets the same Rights, otherwise you know, they wouldn't be Rights, just privileges.
So if the Government can bear "Arms" then the people can too.
