Yes, libertarianism is limited government, that government is a necessary evil. If you want anarchy go to Somalia.
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.
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.
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
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: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peaceful_nuclear_explosions 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.
