Also if you believe the 2nd Amendments and the framer's mindset and the finding of Miller v. US that an armed citizenry is the greatest balance to liberty. It would seem only fair that private law abiding citizens be allowed to own automatic firearms.

Should private citizens be able to own nuclear devices? Why/why not?

A law abiding citizen owning a nuclear device? I got nothing to fear from them. Now I will insist that the storage be regulated so that my dog doesn't grow two heads. Or godzilla is created in my neighbor's backyard.

You could argue that nuclear items and\or bombs are indiscriminate in their use and therefore should be restricted. But just like it is illegal to blindfold youself and start shooting in all directions because of negligence and indistriminate nature of the use, so is the improper use of a nuclear or explosive device.

Honestly, you trust the government with nuclear weapons and they are people like you and me. In fact, we might be more intelligent and\or educated then them.

That's just plain retarded. What happens when someone builds a nuke and holds New York city hostage for 20 billion dollars a day? If there possesion and production of nuclear weapons is legal than we cannot take action against them untill it is too late.

LOL,

I am really afraid of this happen because of all the underground nuclear building facilities that will spring up. You do know that the Manhattan Project cost 20 BILLION dollars in 1942-1945.

It is really a moot point because no one will be able to build one because of the cost. It's retarded to even fear this.

I stand by my earlier post. I have nothing to fear from a law abiding citizen owning arms of any type. To equate nuclear devices with guns of any form is a little naive.
