This is one of those "Oh that's so crazy. That would never happen in the real world."

And then ten years later some American court rules that their right to bear arms and "one nation under god" extends to nuclear warheads.

Existence of a privately owned nuke is a security hazard of all sorts, no country would accept this.

Though illegal means exist, and I heavily think there's a billionaire out there that has a nuke in one of their displays for lols through it.

The goal is for the government to own a nuke, and for a corporation to own the government.

Check and check.
