Libertarians and Uranium
Hmm
If you let ordinary law-abiding folk have it, they'll find much better uses for it. Especially after a few of them have experimented with it for a while. Some of those uses will end up making it much easier to survive the inevitable advent of nutcases with nuclear weapons. (Not to mention plagues, natural disasters, and global climate change). And, of course, all of them will add up to lots more liberty and wealth for everyone, which is always worth a certain amount of risk.

Prohibition certainly didn't work in the 1920s/30s. Legalization would remove economic incentives from the dealers. Legalize and tax it!
Am I serious? Is he? I really can't tell.

A commenter on the original site writes, "There really isn't anyway (sic) to use them [nuclear weapons] that won't cause more problems than it (sic) solves." Excuse me, does this person not understand the very nature of terrorism?
