"You don't have the right to bear suitcase nukes.."

[VetteGirlMA]

So, I can't, ummm, own a suitcase nuke? I hope there's going to be a buyback soon.

 

[Varmint]

The founding fathers would have said you need a battle rifle to be vigilant against tyranny but you don't need a suitcase nuke, it's not in common use by military. They likely would have allowed machine guns and RPGs as well.

Sorry. I think this was my fault with my suitcase nuke comment in the Swallow-well thread. LOL. Musta bumped this on a recommended basis for Steve. LOL

Have we any Marlborough residents that would be willing to make an application to the city requesting permission to detonate a small, thermonuclear device for testing purposes? Don't actually have to DO it, but it would be interesting to see the reaction. You'd be in the spotlight though, so definitely play it "for fun".

One, you don't live in Marlborough, so you're probably good. Even then you can own it, just can't detonate it.

Hell, it doesn't even meet the definition of a firearm, so it isn't affected by the Mass Assault Weapon Ban.

What's if it's a military style MIRV with more than 10 warheads? Is that still out of the AWB?

Cool forget I said anything about buybacks. Let me just casually walk away whistling to myself.

Hey, silence is consent. Not your fault they didn't cover all bases.

Also doesn't mention my phased plasma rifle in the 40-watt range, so legit by default.

The Right To Keep And Bear Arms Shall Not Be Infringed.....

Bearable arms....if you can carry it then it's covered under 2A. I also think this covers any weapon that is mounted to a wheeled vehicle, flying aircraft and sea going vessels.

If one or more humans can operate it then it should be covered.

 

[Climbnsink]

You can't have nuclear weapons because nuclear weapons don't exist. Nuclear Weapons Do Not Exist!
If so it is a heck of a good scam eh? All that money in someone's pocket all that fear to weaken populations. But I've seen them on TV...

I put a VFG and a shoulder thing that goes up on mine. Does that change anything???? I also duct-taped a 30rd magazine to it.

Who would have thought suitcase nukes are in common use?

Try telling that to the Japanese. Seriously, if you believe that, there’s no reasoning with you.

But do you have proof that Japan even exists?

Now that you mention it, all I really have is a poster of Mt Fuji and a bunch of sushi receipts...

 

[Broc]

80% suitcase nukes are still legal.

 

[Dennis in MA]

Yeah. You get a suitcase, unassembled detonation equipment and 2 tons of raw ore.

@Boris Can help assemble it. All he needs is some Vodka, and maybe a shovel.

I have no PROOF that the earth is not flat. IF it is, then Japan cannot possibly exist.

I HAD a suitcase nuke, then those idiots at American Airlines lost my luggage.

 

[DarthRevan]

You can own a suitcase nuke, just not more than ten p80s without an LTC

So, I just followed that link.

And about all I can say is that before the internet whackos existed, but they had no international platform.

To quote rali from years ago - "I hate AOL, they let all those mouth breathers onto my internet".

F. that pitchblende noise.
Holding out for processed yellowcake.

Fine powder mill. Centrifuge. LOL

I can't do yellow cake but I make a mean Tres Leches, which is pretty close.

Nevermind the scienceness suspend your disbelief for a minute. What if the nuke bombs are a hoax folks are right? Most people would have a really hard time giving up that belief and knowing they were fooled so hard. It would be to the point where they would threaten physical violence to anyone who could challenge their belief in nuclear weapons. I don't dig into this stuff or go truther spiraling, I just note them and think that is interesting and if true damn they got us good. Did they? Would make the hiding under our desks drill a more reasonable response. Again assume nukes are fake, so many people have carried that fear and put up with things in their lives for so long they would never give up the belief. Same place we are going with the 'rona.

I personally have shot off nukes, so save the tin foil. I even still have a little radiation burn on my right hands.

How'd you get zapped by your own nuke? Do they use firecracker fuse?

I'm struggling with the decision whether to roll with this or point out the s in "hands" and let light dawn on Marblehead LOL

I used a timer but an ill considered but urgent call of nature had me, well, partially exposed. Could've been much worse
