You can't overthrow violent oppressors using peaceful means

-
A self righteous person holds their hand up and says "Violence is never the solution."
-
Stephie replies with a smile "Oh! So you agree that we shouldn't give weapons to the police?"
-
She adds "And that we should dismantle the army?"
-
Stephie is now right up behind the other person, looking angry, saying "Or did you mean that violence is only a solution when it helps maintain the status quo?". The other person looks deeply uncomfortable.

Violence is the solution to violence.
The threat of defensive violence can act as a useful deterrent to prevent violence.
Nuclear weapons are massively violent. Although they have caused harm in a number of ways (offensive use in WW2, experimental use, indirect harm from the threat of use), I believe they contributed more to peace in the world today.
Open carry in the US has successfully been used to deterr police from harassing innocent people.
I agree, give all states nukes.
