Nope, here go again comparing apples to oranges and then refusing to make distinctions.

Same goes for nukes then - you said the reason not to ban guns is that they are objects, and objects dont kill people. So when a sane person in Iran wants a nuke, he can have it by your logic. A nuke is just an object just like a gun. A nuke never killed anyone by itself. So every sane person anywhere in the world should be able to own a nuclear bomb... right?

Lack of understanding once again. Why do liberals hate distinctions unless it doesn't benefit their arguments? A person has a gun for protection(enter your rationalization here). A country (hint: LOTS OF PEOPLE) create nukes NOT for protection but for offense. At worst, one nuke can kill more people than thousands of guns. The consequence of owning a nuke far exceed that of owning a gun assuming it's even the same thing (hint: it's not).
Sorry nico, but formal logic only works when you're comparing two of the same things, not when you're trying to rationalize two things being the same in your head.
