Come on, Greg. Arming everyone with nukes is ridiculous!  Not only that
but what about the environmental effects of the guy down the street
atomizing a burglar with even a 0.5 kiloton nuke???

I say it's high time that regular explosives were de-regulated.  The
government has no right to tell me I can't take care of that burglar
with an ordinary hand grenade.  If I snuff the burglar on my lawn, well,
the only fallout is from the neighbours saying how unsightly the
3 foot hole in the lawn looks. (but the fertilizing effect of the burglar
should overcome that)
