That and self-defense against attack by criminals ARE the resason the 2nd Amendment exists. This doesn't apply to nukes,though. They are a weapon that is on a "government to government" scale,and this has nothing to do with individual self-defense. Besides,you DO "own" them already. You own them because the gooberment owns and would use them in your name. Like I wrote earlier,nukes are in a special catagory because of the special risks involved with owning or possessing them. Your M-2,BAR,or M-16 isn't going to endanger any of your neighbors by merely being stored and ignored. You can't say this for nukes.
