As to your question, "why can't I own a nuke?" the simple answer is that area affect weapons are generally no available for legal ownership to civilians. I don't know anyone who disagrees with that notion of where we should draw the line, and I have met a whole lot of crazy people in my lifetime.
Once your weapon becomes indiscriminate in whom it targets you don't get to keep one at home for the most part, as it has less demonstratable use for valid defensive purposes.
Nukes will never be legal for individuals to own, just for the sheer fact that they cause so much long term environmental damage. Right to beat arms does not = a right to use them irresponsibly. And from what I have seen, there is no such thing as responsible use of a Nuke bomb.
Try not to say such absurd things. It's not helpful or conducive to civil conversations.
