       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.
