A strict literal reading would say that citizens can own and use nuclear missiles.
Strictly literally speaking, "to bear" means "to carry." So unless you have a nuclear missile you can lift yourself...
So talking man-portable weapons clears up this whole silly argument. Oh wait, I suppose you can easily carry a vial of smallpox...hmm.

Strictly literally speaking
Er, no. Using that interpretation, there would be no right to actually use the weapons for anything at all, since the 2nd amendment only speaks of keeping and bearing arms. If that was the case, why even bother mentioning such a worthless right?
Words have multiple meanings. Clearly, "to bear" means something more than "to carry" here.
