The jump to nuclear weapons immediately in any conversation of the 2A is as many would say a "Strawman" argument.
But to play along, NO, because 42 U.S. Code § 2122 makes that illegal. If nuclear weapons are ever issued as standard individual weapons to soldiers, then they will be covered by the 2A via the Militia Act. Until they are, nukes are not covered by the 2A.
The constitution and current laws, clearly define what you can or can't have under the 2A. NFA laws exist as were voted to control Automatic weapons, SBR's, Silencers, Sawed off Shotguns etc. Until new laws are enacted that change this, it's pretty clear.
I for one don't want new laws written to change my first amendment rights, lest we get to the point where the 2nd is needed to defend the first.
