A Nuclear Graduation Present for Developing Nations

I was thinking recently about the importance of the right to bear arms. Fundamentally it serves as a counterbalance to the military power at the disposal of the government. Personally, I believe it is one of the reasons our democracy has been so robust. Human beings really only feel at peace when they have access to equal power. That's when we feel secure about our ability to defend ourselves should a friend become an enemy.
Anyway, that train of thought led me back to the bothersome problem of nuclear proliferation, and the obvious "coming-of-age" aspects that becoming a nuclear power possesses at this time in our history. The more I thought about it the more I wondered if perhaps we aren't approaching this thing from the wrong angle.
Currently, becoming a nuclear power is the "bad boy" thing to do. Rogue governments insist that if we won't respect them, they will force us to respect them, and they succeed in making us listen and to that extent making us respect them. What if we presented nuclear warheads to states that had proven themselves to have developed a culture worth protecting? What if we made a nuclear defense the "graduation present" for developing countries?
We could set standards for human rights, education, social justice and freedom, and those countries that met those standards would be rewarded with a nuclear bomb to protect the precious humanitarian progress they had made. I imagine that fairly quickly graduating countries would be reluctant to accept such a gift, and that as humanity grew to appreciate the new safety and comfort of right government the nuclear bombs would eventually be purely symbolic. Maybe when everybody has a bomb, we'll all decide we don't need them.
Just a thought.
