I'm all for Nuclear disarmament, but like hand guns, If you outlaw them, only outlaws will have them.
And while many talk about gun control, very few want to disarm the police. If the US disarms, who is going to protect us from the outlaws?
While its a nice goal, I don't see the world being that trusting in 10 years.
