we're having two discussions here.

One is whether is it is right and reasonable for people to own very destructive weapons. I think we agree on the answer to that.

The second one, and more strictly related to your original question, is DOES the 2nd Amendment, in fact, protect our right to bear arms against the government? I don't think the 2nd Amendment states that, and in fact, I think the mention of a well-regulated militia argues AGAINST that opinion.

However, IF the amendment does exist to allow us to use arms against the government, then I can find no logical reason why the government alone should get the good stuff.
