I wouldn't mind a tank but I would be very concerned over private ownership of a nuclear weapon! You're right, a line has to be drawn; where that is I can't imagine.

"To secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed".

If I don't have a right to own tanks and gunships, I can't delegate that right to the government.

Regarding nuclear weapons, the government has a rather strict set of rules covering maintenance and access to nuclear weapons. If Bill Gates wants to set up an equivalent program, then Yes, he can exercise his right to own a nuclear weapon.
