This is really nuts

No, folks should not be allowed to own their own nukes, nerve gas bombs, or ebola virus weapons. The physics of weapons of mass destruction are such that the weapons operator CANNOT control them. Comparing these weapons to artillery pieces is literally like comparing kitchen matches to super novae. No single person can control them. Their use must, because of the magnitude of their effects, be authorized by a group of people, namely the President and a representative, at least, of the Congress. Their use is an act of war, and if anyone here thinks that any single person has the right to wage war, well, your potato's been bakin' too long.

The fact that I even have to describe this is absurd.
