I'd think we could all agree that an individual doesn't need a nuclear weapon to protect themselves from assault or government abuse.
Yes, it is. While the scope of this Right is widely disputed (such as the assault rifle debates), it is my belief that the Second Amendment grants citizens the right to own a firearm for personal protection and any overly intrusive regulations on that right, such as a handgun ban, is Unconstitutional.

As you said, Constitutional intent. In this case, the intent is clear.
