The other 16% of Americans hopefully realized that a world without nuclear weapons would mean no defense from an incoming asteroid or comet. Just look at Shoemaker levy-9,

A world without nuclear weapons also means that if a 'terrorist' group attained the capability to breed it's own fissile fuel it could essentially hold the entire world hostage as no one else would be able to balance the threat of their use, thus making the prospect of a nuclear free world EVEN MORE DANGEROUS.

As soon as an event crazy enough to bring back nuclear warfare happened it's not like we wouldn't be scrambling to build nukes - we'd just be defenseless for that period of time until we were able to rebuild the bombs. Nuclear weapons are the insurance policy of our freedom, and taking them away would take our rights a lot faster than any warhead could.
