The reason for that is quite simple. A nuclear weapon is a weapon of
mass destruction and has no legitimate private use, unlike the weapons
you seek to ban.

In fact, in the soon to be established free country of Oceania,
http://www.oceania.org, even though personal weapons are permitted,
personal ownership of nuclear, chemical and biological weapons, or
other weapons of mass destruction as may be developed in the future,
are also banned.

David Maddison

"Slavery in the modern world implies the absolute deprivation of the individual's liberty, while possession of
weapons and mastery of their use are means to the individual's liberation. We do not perceive how a man
may be armed and at the same time bereft of his freedom." John Keegan, in "The Face of Battle"
