Same old argument. Why isn't everything legal then? Why not make all explosives legal? Nuclear weapons?

Nukes are legal as long as you have enough of them. Isn't that how the game is played?

It is illegal to both posses nuclear materials (U.S. Code § 831) and to "develop or possess a radiological weapon" (U.S. Code § 832)

The point being made is that if you have enough Nukes you can just tell the US "I don't like Codes 831 and 832, change them or I'll wipe your country out"
