    How about we outlaw nukes instead? F-35s? Missile cruisers? Reaper drones? Whatever they have in orbit that can kill us?

      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.
