>> functioning nuclear weapon<< We'd probably fall on a different side of the argument in that case, because of the imprecision of nuclear weapons, I consider them a weapon of terror. Nobody should be aiming that at anyone because 90+ percent of your victims would be non-combatants (even a strike on North Korea is just going to mostly kill farmers and factory workers). If there were to be an "umbrella gun" (you open it up and hide under it as it goes off, killing or wounding everything BUT you in a 20 foot circle), I'd be against that too. Sorry, you'll have to make it to your dotage with less firepower. And when you are senile - it goes away too.
