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)
OK but now that I have made the bomb before you were able to stop me, will the federal government finally recognize Petoria?

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"

We can't talk about sex on the internet but we can still have civilized and gentile conversations about the need for genocide.

Indeed. But nobody is advocating a ban of water pistols, potato guns or other toys. Just the stuff that are actually lethal weapons.
Some jurisdictions consider potato guns to be firearms. California law enforcement has said in the past that non-pneumatic potato guns with bores wider than 0.6 inches are "destructive devices" (possession is a felony). I don't know if that definition has been tested in court, but I wouldn't want to be the test case. In Oregon they're considered firearms (even pneumatic ones). Can't possess them if you're a felon and…
There's two kinds of potato gun. [1]'s a toy, [2]'s a destructive device, and I believe that GP was referring to [1].

There is no other nation in the world which compares to the US. The US is the world power and it’s citizens have more rights than any other. So you cannot say that what ‘works’ for some fly by night westernized counties will work for the current flag ship of human progress.
As an American citizen, this is one of the most laughable statements I've heard all day.
Being an American is not really a rebuttal of the above comment. Neither of you speak for all Americans.
America being a world power is factual but not as directly pertinent as other issues. What is pertinent is that America has significantly more diversity than other developed nations. More importantly, there is significant cultural tension between many different groups.
Finally, guns have legitimate uses, and are by-and-large used by legitimate people. Per FBI statistics [0], significantly more people were killed in 2016 by knives or alike weapons, whereas 374 deaths by rifle. Certainly handguns represent a larger number, but the current push is against so-called "assault rifles" which are, needless to say, categorized as "rifles" in the referenced data. Is a knife an in-appropriate symbol?
