Why in the world do you believe that they do? Are you that paranoid?
Blame? They simply failed to heed the old proverb. Be prepaired! They were probably content in pasture, before the danger showed up.
Re: "None of your neighbors have any nukes, suitcase or otherwise." Why do you think that's so?
"Why in the world do you believe that they do? Are you that paranoid?
That's not an answer. It's a dodge. The reason, which is particularly relevant to the topic at hand, is that they don't have them, because "my neighbors" can't buy in the legitimate nuke market.
"It is the essence of the violation of the basic right to keep and bear arms by requiring government permission."
THe buyer doesn't need, nor do they apply for, or receive permission. The buyer simply picks out the gun and buys it from the FFL. The FFL in turn does business according to the law.
