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.

if you cause harm to innocents, then you are committing a crime. so unless you could launch a nuke and insure noone, or their property got damaged besides the criminal imediately threatening your life, you would be breaking the law.

owning a nuke in and of its self should not be illegal. if someone wants to spend like a half a billion of their own dollars, to hire some nuclear scientists to make a nuke, with pretty much would be impossible to hide, so everyone and their mom would know you have it. and obviously the government would be keeping an eye on you. you should be able to have a nuke. if nukes were legal to own, the people who would spend the money and go through the legal pathways to obtain one, they wont be doing any crime.
