I think only the military gets access to that stuff legally, and it’d be silly to restrict what weapons they can use. This is more about civilian ownership.
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.
How about we outlaw nukes instead? F-35s? Missile cruisers? Reaper drones? Whatever they have in orbit that can kill us?
Are you retarded?
Yes

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.
