Having your own nuclear weapons is probably like having firearms in your home in that you’re actually more likely to be the victim of that class of weapons.

The alternative is you don't have them and you rent protection from someone who does.

Your claim about nuclear weaposn increasing the risk of being subjected to nuclear attacks has no historical basis. If anything, there is evidence for the opposite.

Even for private firearm ownership you'd need to show more than just correlation to make that claim.
