FWIW, in South Africa a person can booby-trap their vehicle to protect against theft. But here in America we can't. :o(

Anyone can own a nuke. Nowhere does the Constitution deny the individual the possession of ANY weapon, or in any way limit them. The 10th Amendment guarantees that the rights not delegated to the federal government, nor prohibited to the states, are reserved to the states OR people. Until the Constitution is amended to limit the private ownership of nukes, anything else is unconstitutional.

I agree with the American decision. I do not favor the possession or use of indiscriminate weapons.

I have made my argument above. Please show me exactly where I am wrong within the confines of my argument.

I don't think its fair for some to own while others are prohibited. If we aren't all equally entitled to own what we will, then might is right. In which case owning a weapon gives you the right to.

You are crossing into National rights again. As an agent of the government, they are not exercising individual rights when they are under color of duty and possessing government property -- they are exercising national rights, which is a topic I am not presently discussing.

Not one individual on this planet is confirmed to own a nuclear weapon.
