Representative Ham Wesley stood, clearly disturbed. His hands
shook as he spoke, and he made his point crystal clear. "The
Constitution on which our nation was founded clearly states that
the states are sovereign. We have the right to do as we please,
and our rights are protected. This bill is horridly
unconstitutional, and it will not hold up in the Supreme Court,
I guarantee it. While I hate WMDs and what they may do, states
are sovereign and have the right to develop them, albeit at
their own risk. Gondor is a nuclear power, and will not see
states who do not have what we do trying to take away what we
built to defend ourselves in a time that seemed very scary to
us. I dream of a world without WMDs, but this is not the way. To
blatantly violate the Constitution to push a political agenda
only opens up the precedent to do it over and over again, until
our nation is a lawless place like the wild west, with no moral
compass or lawful foundation upon which to stand. I wish that
all the nuclear weapon wielding states would come together and
disarm together, and take a step towards a more peaceful region,
without violating the sacred principles on which this nation was
founded. For Congress to mandate that states give up their
nuclear weapons is to violate the sovereignty of the states and
the Constitution."
[quote=Article 1, Section 4 of the Constitution] At no time
shall the institutions established by this Constitution be
understood to have sovereignty over any one of the states or the
several states but shall be understood as exercising authority
delegated to them by the states.[/quote]
After quoting that portion of the Constitution, the
representative continued, "The actual right of the states to
produce weapons, not specifying what kind mind you, are also
protected by the Constitution."
[quote=Article III, Section 14 of the Constitution]A
well-regulated militia being necessary go the security of a free
State, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not
be infringed.[/quote]
"So you see, ladies and gentlemen of Congress, that this bill is
wholly unconstitutional in the fact that the right to keep and
bear arms shall not be infringed. To take away nuclear weapons
is obviously infringing upon that right, and I will not tolerate
it. It is for these reasons that I shall never consent to this
bill, and I vehemently opposed it, in the name of the People of
the NeoConfederate States of America and in the name of the
sovereignty of my very own State, Gondor."
Representative Wesley then let out a sigh of relief,sweat
visibly perspiring from his brow. He wiped his face off with a
handkerchief and took a sip of ice water, because he needed it
desperately. He would never stop defending the rights of the
People or the sovereignty of the states, no matter how
despicable it was. The rule of law was what it was, and it had
to be upheld. To him, this crusade was sacred.

Nay
It says a right to bear arms. Not build nuclear weapons. You
detonate a WMD it not only has a terrible affect on the target
nation but nations around it.
One has a right to bear arms. But the speaker from Gondor is
streching the meaning.

Aye- and might I add that the Constitution does not specify what
kind of weapons may be used. Nuclear weapons are still arms,
albeit a terrible version.
