A nuke probably $8mil. They will likely have a damn good reason for whatever they are buying if it's expensive enough. (I can't see a random unstable nutcase coming up with $8mil for a nuke. It's even hard to imagine someone like that coming up with $1,000 for a machine gun.
You have no imagination or common sense. You think there are not unstable people that are rich or have vendetta or agenda. You're as naive as they come. You must just be a troll to say this utter nonsense. I'm really disappointed in you, Dalkore. You're not even trying to present rational arguments, anymore. You can do better. There is nothing rational with the argument that a dollar amount like $8mil is what will keep this type of weapon technology out of the hands of unstable people. NOTHING RATIONAL.

You have no imagination or common sense. You think there are not unstable people that are rich or have vendetta or agenda. You're as naive as they come. You must just be a troll to say this utter nonsense. Sure, there are rich people with agendas, but they typically want to keep their money and power. Nuking people tends to go in the opposite direction for them, both financially and health-wise. I guess maybe some old fuck who failed near the end of their life and just about lost all his money, but still owns a nuke, may want to go out with a bang... I guess I would have to hope that whoever comes to try to repossess his items will start with the nuke though. And the difference between me and you on this is that I would never leave this up to chance. With the amount of violence that is portrayed in the media along with many other cultural issues, I would almost guarantee this would happen if they would accessible. Never mind people who feel we have too many people and they may being doing mankind a service. You have a confluence of many ideas and agendas today and this item would easily fit into many of them. I don't see how you can either not think about these things or dismiss in a manner where you can sit back and think "typically want to keep their money and power. Nuking people tends to go in the opposite direction for them, both financially and health-wise". Just take that example, A. you would set it off in your backyard (hopefully) B. maybe you investments are in oil, setting that thing off would make the price go through the roof..... bam, profits. Hell we even have major short position before the WTC disaster on the airlines that were historically way outside the normal size of the shorts, who ever held those made a ton of money. Please, widen your horizon.

Unstable people are, by definition, unstable. Are unstable people typically goal-oriented enough to put that much effort into something? Ask yourself this: if what you fear is unstable folks getting control of nukes and killing people, why do you entrust them to people with proven track records of genocide? You're right, you don't leave it to chance. You give the nukes to the unstable people.

Having thought for a couple days about the points raised here, I retract my "compulsory insurance" suggestion, and am leaning towards simple restitution.
1. It's not aggression to forego insurance, so I can't argue morality. 2. The people I want to stop wouldn't be stopped, so I can't argue efficiency/effectiveness.
So why don't more gun owners buy liability insurance right now? It seems like the rational thing to do. (I don't own any guns myself)

What do we have to talk about if everything you have to say is the same thing. Just don't bother responding and instead just reply with a blank post and I will just make up a typical response for you that will: A. Indict Government that is basically thugs because you didn't get a chance to volunteer B. Give some reference to how a privately run system for everything is the best way to do anything C. You logic to make it that all human decision are in self-interest D. And most importantly remember, Greed is good.

And the difference between me and you on this is that I would never leave this up to chance. What would you do about it? The only two options I see are 1) Give the power to control (and thus own) nukes only to a select few, whom we'll call "government," and hope that none of their members become unstable and try to set one off 2) Make it an acceptable community standard that no one in that community should own nukes, and make everyone be responsible for keeping an eye on each other, and report/stop anyone from trying to obtain weapons-grade nuclear materials Personally, I think option 2 will be more effective. I'm curious, though, why do you hold government in such high regard exactly? What makes a person who works for the government different from just any other person? And if they are the same - just people - then how will government employment prevent someone from becoming unstable? Just take that example, A. you would set it off in your backyard (hopefully) B. maybe you investments are in oil, setting that thing off would make the price go through the roof..... bam, profits. Hell we even have major short position before the WTC disaster on the airlines that were historically way outside the normal size of the shorts, who ever held those made a ton of money. Please, widen your horizon.
Anyone setting off a nuke will very likely be found out. A nuke isn't just something you can build in secret. So if you were to blow up a nuke in your back yard, not only will you be losing your back yard and all your neighbors, but you will likely make sure that no one will ever buy oil from you again, and will end up with a HUGE price on your head. Otherwise, how do you propose that whoever does that in your example manages to get away with it?

First Issue:Because of the destructive nature of nuclear weapons, obviously I would rather no one have them.

Second Issue:That is an assumption they would be found out, if you know what your doing you could be covert about it. There are small tactical nukes are are as small as a suitcase. Also in your example, you gave a price tag so I had to assume that person was purchasing it from somewhere not building their own. Building your own it a whole other ball game and is very hard to mask because of the equipment needed, power consumption and raw materials. You really need to understand, covert action happens everyday and it is effective more times than not. History is filled with examples (that we know of) and it is only decades if not longer that we find out, or we seize records and read about them after the fact.

Liability insurance is part of your home insurance. I don't know of any specific liability insurance offerings out there other than for businesses. So, maybe a liability insurance for owning a gun just isn't offered and doesn't have a market for it.

And we can't have everyone agree not to own nukes and police each other for it, while having a private defense force in charge of keeping out outsiders, whom we entrust with owning a nuke for deterrent reasons because...? Second Issue: That is an assumption they would be found out, if you know what your doing you could be covert about it. There are small tactical nukes are are as small as a suitcase.

If someone sold someone a nuke, then they know whom they sold the nuke to. If one of those nukes does go off, either whoever sold the nuke will have told everyone whom they sold that one to, or they would be held responsible. And yes, the price tag is the estimates cost of a nuke on the black market. But, regardless, why is covert action and black market suitcase nukes a problem in anarchy state, but not a problem in government controlled state? What makes people with a government paycheck different or better than people with a private company paycheck?

If you can prove one of my beliefs a lie, I will immediately discard it. Not worth my effort. You can hold those beliefs all you want, that is your right.
Indeed. Those beliefs discourage aggressing against peaceful people. On the other hand, your beliefs encourage aggressing against peaceful people, and so are worth my effort to attempt to change.

Maybe the person selling it, gets informed about its end use and supports it so they are glad it happens. Another option is that it could change hands.

You are so caught up in your idea of Anarchy that you assume someone who doesn't support it is so colored in their thinking that they would think in that manner.

So... Your only concern then is with making sure that only some people being allowed to have nukes and not others... I guess in that case, same question again: what makes those some people different from others?

Vastly different and more secure. Many things make some people different than others. People in the government that are in positions to have access to sensitive areas like nuclear weapons and technology are vetted, monitored and routinely moved around. Genetics and mental disposition are another two obvious answers to what makes someone different than another, but I assume you know that.

I think the word you're looking for is vett ed. Especially considering that the rest of the sentence is in past tense. So, people in private industry would not be vetted or monitored?

I'm not asking how people are different, I'm asking how two people, who might otherwise be the same with the same interests, are different from the fact that one works for the government, and one works for a private sector? (while not defending what they do, private military companies have quite a lot of training, vetting, and security as well, as do nuclear power stations). What I am trying to get at is that you seem to be perfectly ok with allowing some people to own nukes, while not allowing others, and since I'm sure "because they work for a government" is not your ONLY reason for that claim, I'm wondering what the other reason, besides under what system of bureaucracy they work, that is. And if the entire reason some people whould have nukes and some shouldn't IS only because some people get their paychecks from government and some down, I want to know what makes the people working for a government different from those who do not? (besides being underpaid and likely undesrkilled I mean)

While I am completely against the idea of anyone (governments or otherwise) having nukes/WMD's, the big difference between the two is the people/organizations they work for and how their power is obtained. The realities of how they are funded can't be ignored - government can undertake insane courses of action and it is the taxpayers who bear the cost. Those in the private sector would have to divert immense amounts of their own accumulated capital - and without the benefit of being permitted to threaten violence with impunity as a way to obtain continued funds from their investors.
