Same concept.

this argument is plainly stupid.
First, a nuke would obviously destroy YOU as well as ME and anyone else in the area, therefore it is not a weapon of defense, it's a weapon of mass destruction.
Second, the insanity of some individual wanting to own a nuke for self defense OR defense against the government is patently absurd because it would afford neither.
Third, the argument that the people can no longer preserve a freedom against their government with nukes is ludicrous because a government would have to have popular support to fight an uprising. Using a nuke on their own soil, against their own people, would forever ruin even the slightest chance of such a prospect.
comparing ownership of nuclear weapons to automatic weapons is not even close to the same concept and to try to say that it is, shows you so far removed from reality that it would be useless to attempt to show you the wrongness of your argument. you would never agree because your hatred of your fellow citizen overrides any desire to think logically.
