A thought about nuclear weapons

[acemcmac]

"Terrorist organizations" aside, if a private individual... let's assume he/she is a US citizen, purchaced a black market former soviet nuclear ICBM and assembled a team to keep it properly maintained and ready to launch, yet kept it outside of the United States, how would the fed's react to that?

Would the feds conduct pre-emptive war against individuals with murky (or unknown) agendas?

I just figured before I spent all of my money on nuclear weapons and scientists that I should find out if the US is going to declare war on me

 

[maddogchen]

Sorry, but you wouldn't get your hands on a nuke. the ICBM, maybe. The Nuke? not a chance.

I'm sure there's probably a law against a private citizen owning nuclear weapons. Although it's so out there, maybe not.

You'd need some serious fvcking clout to get your hands on a nuke. Simply put, it's not happening.

thats why you need to hire some mercenaries for protection. Of course not M4H, he sucks

pedro offers you his protection

I suspect that you would quietly disappear, and a suicide note in your handwriting would eventually turn up. But if not, let the rest of us know how it turns out, mm'kay?

In fact, you will now be posting from Gitmo simply for asking

2 words: covert assasignation

 

[CrazyPerson]

[everman]

You'll need at least a couple real ninjas for protection.

Cthulhu offers you his protection.

I always thought he was against nukes, since that means less to eat for Cthulhu...

Pretty much. Well, they'd just kill all your help, then detonate the nuke from a safe distance with you attached to it.

After that, they'd tell everyone that you failed to maintain it properly causing premature detonation.
