3 only works if all countries:

a. have stable and rational governments, now and in perpetuity

b. do a perfect job of securing the weapons

c. can't covertly provide weapons to terrorists willing to use them

I don't think anyone thinks it's a good idea to give say, Somalia (to pick one example), nuclear weapons.

On the other hand, one could make the argument that, if Somalia had nuclear weapons, the world community would be incentivized to establish and maintain a secure government there. Not sure if I buy this argument, but I think it's worth considering.
