The US currently bans possession of chemical, biological and nuclear weapons, for the sole reason that they can only be used to kill and injure people. Why does this not apply to guns (assuming the hunting and recreational practices get permits)?

Really? I thought they were banned because they were weapons of mass destruction and not instruments of self defense.

Nuclear weapons could be the ultimate weapon of self-defence. "Don't loiter in front of my diner or i'll kill every last one of us."
It's only defending his private property, after all.

That's a rather pathetic argument. Gun is designed to fire a bullet which can harm or kill your target. Nuclear weapons are designed to kill hundreds of thousands of people, completely destroy cities and make areas uninhabitable for years...

It's not about using them. They're there to prevent crime.
Hey, it kept the Russians out for 50 years.
