Is anyone here afraid of Russian nukes? Afraid of nuclear weapons getting into the hands of Al Qaeda? Afraid of North Korea getting nukes? If you are, why? If you're not, why not?

Do you really believe passing a law forbidding any of those would make any significant difference? None of the groups you cite seem to be shy about violating US law. And the same is true of domestic criminals.

Nice feint. The question was: are you afraid of those things. Are you?

I'm not afraid of things. It's people that worry me. Including people who wish to disarm me, while claiming they are "civilized".

Now I've answered your question, it's your turn.
