> Analogous would be how we have very limited regulations on guns

This is strictly limited to the US. In most advanced democracies you need a stack of papers to get even a small handgun.




Right but a gun can be had and presumably a nuclear warhead can’t, so even in countries who call the wrong sport “football” the law takes into account that some tools need to be regulated more than others.
