I believe that is still classified Top Secret-Q Restricted Data. The most current data on the US stockpile that is not classified is from 1946, following Operation Crossroads (where we detonated 2 stockpile devices for effects tests at Bikini atoll) the US had a grand total of 4 fission bombs remaining in stockpile. I am still looking to find additional data, if I can't I may have to file a FOIA or MDR request.

Why are nuclear weapons a good thing?
Nuclear weapons are a good thing for the United States because they prevent others from using nuclear weapons on the US. In general, the world would probably be a better place without nuclear weapons if it weren't for the fact that they lead to research in all fields of Nuclear Engineering, like Nuclear Power plants and Nuclear Physics. Since nuclear weapons already exist in the world, for the US to get rid of their nuclear weapons would be unwise. Countries that dislike nuclear weapons or even radical terrorist cells and organizations would now have no reason not to launch a nuclear warhead at the US since no retaliation would occur. The strategy of nuclear weapons preventing others from using them against the US is called the Deterrent Strategy.
