I haven't read your discussion, but the nuclear weapon analogy is poor. In one case you have guns, which can be used for defence without harming a third party. In the other instance you have nuclear weapons which ALWAYS harm third parties. In an ideal world no government or individuals would have (or rather be able to use) nuclear weapons, because the very nature of the weapon prevents it from targetting aggressors, and itself initiates aggression. So a person who uses or intends to use a nuclear weapon is a criminal, because if he uses a nuclear weapon he is harming non-aggressive persons, and if he intends to use a nuclear weapon he is threatening non aggressive persons with force, even if his main intent was to use it on aggressive persons.
