    My point was that the US thinks it’s important to outlaw certain civilian arms while its military constitutes an existential threat to continued human civilization. I think it’s ironic, but apparently people don’t like that here.

      Fair point, but it probably always will. That’s almost the point of the military: to be a threat to anyone who is against the interests or safety of a nation. I think modern technology has made them an even greater threat to anyone’s existence than ever before though.

        And the planet as a whole. I think we’re going to have to move past this model if we’re to survive. You can’t just keep feeding Moloch ad infinitum.
