The US paradox

Post Reply New Topic

Say it were legal to simply go out an buy a nuke. Where would you get one? What would it cost? Would you have to build all the equipment necessary for extracting and purifying the necessary elements, shaping them very precisely, assembling them in the correct fashion?

Chemical and biological weapons are certainly readily available for a lot less money and trouble,

Building a machinegun, or a grenade, or a flamethrower is garage science, not terribly difficult, but people don't generally do it. Why? Because none of those things is very useful day to day.

If nukes are legal, there is no reason why one cannot simply buy a fully operational warhead from a shop. While the cost is expensive for an average family (say tens million US$), there are plenty of people spending that amount of money on boats, private jets, etc.


Evidence please.


A homemade machine gun or grenade is not as reliable as a shop bought one. These weapons are not widely sold because they are illegal. Whether these things or your old guns are useful or not is at best your opinion.

The second amendment says that the States can have there own well ordered armed militias. Since the reserves are in fact ancillaries of our standing army, the second amendment is for all intents and purposes a dead letter.

It is only the gun nuts who look to the second amendment for a right for individual citizens to keep and bear arms just because they are citizens. The right place to look is the 9 th amendment which says your natural right to self defense shall not be disparaged just because it is not explicitly written into the Constitution.
