Also, I kinda lean towards the idea that people should be allowed to have fully automatic weapons, explosives, or whatever. If the government can have it....why can't you?

Atomic bombs? VX nerve agent? air strike drones? Inter continental missiles?

Nobody should have these.

Also I'm the guy who thinks these things exist because governments want them so they can leverage over other governments mainly. I think if enough people embraced a free market such that it could sustain without reverting to government again, threats like nukes would swiftly be eradicated.

How so?

They'd all be detonated. Threat over

They're a liability for business and consumerism. They're a liability for getting rich by selling people things. For people trying to set up mutually beneficial market contracts, having such big destructive power is bad news. Stock values would rally on the news that business will be better due to a decreased risk of nuclear war (or nuclear accident).

Even if this isn't persuasive, what we know for sure is that destructive nuclear power and the incentive to have such associates with states. That doesn't mean that it wouldn't associate with free markets if states did not exist in the nuclear force space, but it is the case that it does associate with states and doesn't with the private sector.
