Will the Second Amendment survive?

As long as they can store them safely without endangering their neighbors with leaking radiation, I don't see a problem with it.

I do; as I've said on other threads here, it is difficult to use a nuclear weapon as designed and intended in a moral way. Collateral damage (counting radioactive pollution under that heading) and collateral deaths are too large a problem, and there doesn't seem a solution to it on the Earth's face.

In deep space, there the problem is much reduced if not completely solved, but evoking science fiction isn't a very present help in this present trouble.

Killing tools of a less comprehensive nature are easier to use morally: though some would have us believe that only killing those who should be killed is some kind of moral failure in itself. This is an idea I don't buy.

They do have that right. All sovereign nations have the right of self-determination and can choose for themselves which weapons they will or won't develop.

The problem is that those nations who got the technology first, like to bully around other nations and say they can't or shouldn't have them.

to be fair radar has always stayed consistent on that point. he has said in the past that everyone has the right to have every weapon. they simply don't have the right to use those weapons for anything but their own defense. IIRC
