Gun accidents? Guns are dangrous?

This type of thinking ignores the positive effects that guns have. There's no question that there are the positive effects of self-defense and even if we take the lowball figures for defensive gun uses, the positive uses far outweigh the deaths from guns.

Can you give me any source on this?

None of this changes what I said, which is that there is no way to use a nuclear weapon, offensively or defensively, that does not affect innocent third parties. This is inherent in the nature of a nuclear weapon.

The power of the nuclear weapon is in its potential damage. You use it by not using it. You can prevent a force from attacking you without a single life going to waste - this makes it a very good defensive weapon.
