This hurts me to say but I have to man up and say it.

Sometimes Existential Cage Theory just isn’t a viable option. On the positive side, putting HEU in your pocket saves a cage for another idiot liberal to occupy.

If uranium is banned, only terrorists will have uranium.

If they have to issue this rule, I’m more worried than ever about our nuclear programs.

This is what over regulation does. Soon you will have to write laws against lighting your beard on FIRE. Because if an activity is not regulated then you that activity is safe.

We’re talking about Oak Ridge, TN where components for nuke weapons are made.

The very idea that someone would, even temporarily, put enriched uranium in their pocket— well, let’s just say that person should be fired... on the spot.

The reference to the “criticality” event is indeed scary. Looked it up and it involved the leakage of a 55 gal drum of fissile material solution that had been allowed to accumulate. 7 people exposed, not killed immediately, but all developed early cancer and died.

Weapons grade uranium— you don’t put it in your pocket.sheesh. Spent uranium you make into 20 mm cannon rounds for a Warthog close air support plane.
