Should possession of 100 lbs of weapons grade uranium be a crime?

  Nuclear weapons can hurt other people. Me using drugs can only hurt me.

    > Me using drugs can only hurt me. Only if you exist in isolation from the rest of the world, surely. Otherwise there's family, friends, anyone you might hurt whilst under the influence (verbally, physically, etc.), and that's ignoring the indirect effects of the drug trade.

      I can hurt them being sober too. If I'm willingly taking a mind-altering substance, then I'm 100% aware that I can be prosecuted if I were to hurt bystanders. Yet I don't see why I should be prosecuted merely for taking the substance if I take the necessary precautions to not hurt people.

  > Should possession of 100 lbs of weapons grade uranium be a crime? Not that I know much about these things but from a distance I don't think possession should be a crime even in this case. Of course, you need to follow proper procedure to store it. I am more concerned with where they obtained the said material, who supplied it to them, who produced it and so on.
