seeing as many governments may think it unwise to let their citizens own weapons of mass destructions (that's obvious enough)
but is there any actual laws in any nations of the world saying you can't own one
and if there are, are there restrictions to it
such as less then 25 pounds of plutonimiuim
or something like that
some wanted to know

In most countries and definitely the UK it would be illegal under a number of different laws and international treaties.Licences which would be needed would not be forthcoming.There are strict laws governing the handling,storage and transport of nuclear materials,explosives laws the list goes on.

This might be covered by laws in UK restricting the ownership of arms. Apparently, there are sites on the Internet where you can get plans for making an A-Bomb. First you'll need to build yourself a nuke reactor and power station then you can make the enriched uranium which then explodes in your bombs making a large mushroom cloud over your neighbourhood.

Are you serious?
A citizen wouldn't even begin to have the technology or the equipment to enrich fissile materials. Neither would they have access to those materials ( weapons grade ) and the components to make them into a nuclear weapon.
There are no needs for laws against it. Civilians would never have access to them.

Transporting plutonium is illegal w/o all the proper paper work and a police escort, manufacturing a bomb is illegal of course. I don't know about storing a bomb though but I expect it probably is illegal

Most Likely. I think you'd probably fall foul of some law by unsafely transporting weapons grade plutonium.

yes,well there are laws about it specially in the countries having developed atom bomb or even using nuclear power for peace full purpose.

I remember when my daddy showed me photos from a flyover of Cuba, he said they were MAD, he said we were MAD.
I did not know what he meant, then.
I grew up and I learned.
MAD is MADness.
If it is legal, I can almost assure you that some redneck would take a bunch of them out on a lake and come back with a whole bunches of fishies.
Humans now possess the means to end the world, thrice.

If you're sane- you can't have one.
Only loony politicians like drooling Ronnie Reagan or smart-as-a-pet-rock Bush can, or your stereotypical Hollywood Islamic terrorist loony.
Putin's not so bad- his button is in a suitcase that always gets misplaced- like them cute Russian dolls.

You would need a licence to possess the quantities of radioactive material necessary. You wouldn't get one!

Not if you are the USA, UK, Israel or Russia! They can all have the bomb, but funnily enough don't want anyone else to have it. Be afraid, BE VERY AFRAID!
