Assume you can afford a nuke. Now assume you can shoot it off safely to get some "target practice". No one is being harmed. Why would there still be a restriction on ownership? A thought problem? You obviously aren't thinking at all.
However, there are legitimate limits on "self-defense." When your "self-defense" cannot be used against an aggressor without infringing on multiple innocent third parties' right to the quiet enjoyment of their property, that's a sign that you've wandered far and away from the right of self-defense.
Funny, who's Rights to equal enjoyment was this guy stepping on again? Who did he harm? Come on Pooh, you want to make the claim, you gotta pony up the evidence. This guy was mouthing off. That is all. One "informant" and some liberal media spin and you are ready to ride him out of town on a rail. I've yet to see you defend a single gun owner so demonized... even if there was no real crime committed by the supposed perp.
Sheesh Pooh... all that practice at this and you still suck. You should get a full refund.
$50K to the right guy in Arzamas, Russia, and I have a nuke. Hell, I'll take out a second on my house and buy ten or so.
Now assume you can shoot it off safely to get some "target practice".
Let's assume that we're living in the real world, not your fantasy world where consequences do not exist.
No one is being harmed.
Sure, no problem. Let me shoot off a 500kT ground burst with a 50% fission fraction 100 miles upwind of you, and then let's see what you look like in a week.
Why would there still be a restriction on ownership?
Because there is no such thing as a consequence-free nuke, except in your intellectual onanism.
A thought problem? You obviously aren't thinking at all.
Funny, who's Rights to equal enjoyment was this guy stepping on again?
When he turned to planning to use those weapons against the cops, he was threatening their rights, along with the rights of any poor schmuck who happened to be in the area.
Who did he harm?
He intended to harm a bunch of people.
Come on Pooh, you want to make the claim, you gotta pony up the evidence. This guy was mouthing off. That is all.
DC, if somebody is "mouthing off" about their intent to kill me, the cops had better catch him before I do.
I don't "arrest" or "detain" someone like that. I engage in preemptive--and permanently effective--self-defense.
