I'm struggling with the concept that the main danger of a nuclear weapon is that it might be contained under unsafe conditions. More troublesome, to me, would be the consequences if the device were used for it's only intended purpose.* I think it is a reasonable function of the government to regulate the possession of anything that could wipe out millions of people with the push of a button.
* Although I suppose one could use the argument that a possessing a nuclear weapon is a deterrent against the use of nuclear weapons. Thus the intended use could be construed as "to prevent my neighbor from using his against me" ...but somehow that doesn't sound like a safe situuation to me.
