Nuclear bombs at walmart and libertarianism

Hi, I was wondering if under a libertarian government you could buy nuclear bombs at walmart?

 

Um, no? How about you use some freakin common sense

 

^^ Seconded.

 

So under a libertarian government, some things would be regulated?

 

Yes, libertarianism is limited government, that government is a necessary evil. If you want anarchy go to Somalia.

 

You can buy nukes in Somalia?

 

Oh dear god

 

You should go there and report back to us about the status of their Dollar Nukes chain of stores.

 

No, but under a libertarian government you could legally make one with parts from home depot.

Yes, but your poor ass couldn't afford one. Get a job you lazy hippie.

Probably, but half of them would be defective because with walmart your getting shotty chinese sweatshop labor.

 

LOL LOL LOL

I find it funny you call me a hippie and your bunny is on drugs.

 

Just kidding about you being a hippy, I'm aware that the vast majority of people on this site are not hippies.

And yes both of my bunnies love the ganj... and shitting on the floor.

 

But in all seriousness, if the united states elected a libertarian majority, buying bombs at walmart would be legal?

 

If bombs were considered arms, It would probably be put up to state law. And all 50 states have explosive regulation.

 

This, most of what is illegal at the federal level is also illegal at the state level.

 

there is a huge difference between an assault rifle or handgun and a nuke. assault rifles and handguns an be used for protection, sport, hunting and what not.

there is so reason for someone to have a nuke. they cant be used for anything but harm to others... its called common sense

 

you can buy a nuke at your nearest (un)friendly corrupt head-of-state, most likely north korea is your best bet there

 

not ~strictly true, you cold blow a mountain apart for mining, just sayin

 

Really, you should be asking if nuclear technology would have ever developed without a strong central government.

 

i was thinkin about that too. and to the op: what you're describing would be the most extreme form of libertarianism. I am libertarian ( and just a bit to the left...not talkin about my wang lol) myself but I don't think people should be able to walk around with nukes tho....those things are really fuckin dangerous...all it would take is one crazy fuck and everyone would be dead

 

There actually have been test in using nuclear weapons in that way:

It's generally just not practical though, especially because of nuclear fall out.

Though ironically for better or worse nuclear weapons would not exist without a massive government funded program. The Manhattan project cost about $25-30 billion in today's money.
