I disagree. As far as I am concerned, I can own nuclear weapons. Since all men are equal before God and the law, no man is my master. If man or group is entitled to own nuclear weapons, then I am. As far as the weapon being discriminating, a nuclear weapon can be sufficiently discriminating if it is directed at a tyrannical government which is also armed with nukes. (Think Hillary Clinton, Janet Reno, Waco, etc.)

Oh, have you invented a new nuclear weapon that causes people who are aggressing against you to be vaporized, while only gently nudging people who are innocent and happen to be in the blast radius?

Because otherwise, I am seeing you assert that your right of self-protection triumphs other people's right of self-protection. I see you asserting that you are 'more equal' than others.

Well, this is a good question Larry. Actually, there is no federal law or state law that would prevent you from owning or operating a nuclear weapon, as long it is outside a school zone. I think congress has never really considered the possibility that someone just might want to own one or purchase one. Of course, if you were thinking of operating a nuclear power plant, thats different. You have to license and regulate that. But nuke weapons are not illegal.

I'm not sure that there is a law aginst you owning one, but there are laws against you stealing one or receiving a stolen one, or the fissionable material required for one.

Do you think a lot of private citizens can enrich Uranium from 0.7% U-235 to 90.0 %U-235 on their own?

"As far as I am concerned, I can own nuclear weapons."

No,you're not. This is due to their unique dangerous nature. They can leak radiation if not properly maintained,for one example. You don't have the right to poison the atsmophere and water of your neighbor.
