49 Southern Illinois University Law Journal 603 (Spring, 2025) |

We should give guns to crazy people. As surprising as it may seem, this statement is neither a bad faith argument nor an edgy remark designed to get a rise out of the public.

How should the United States respond if another country attempts to station a nuclear weapon in outer space? Although the Outer Space Treaty of 1967 (OST) forbids stationing nuclear weapons and other weapons of mass destruction (WMD) in outer space, prohibition does not guarantee prevention.
