    To be fair, enough guns can make any project open source.

      I wonder if the pentagon has ran a simulation to quantify how many guns exactly.

      Like hey, if x million of this class of people get armed, it would make things x levels of difficult to quash.

        we already have far more guns that people in the US. How many guns does it take to reach the levels you’re talking about? 5 guns per person?

            I don’t think 15:1 is needed, I think 10:1 or even 5:1 would be fine. The limiting factor then is just ammo

            Probably closer to 10:1 or 15:1

            yeah that’s gonna help things. https://abcnews.go.com/US/gun-violence-claimed-lives-5000-people-2024/story?id=107262776 sure man.

          Probably at least 3, but evenly distributed among the population. Currently guns are concentrated in the hands of just a few people.

              Yeah, but also concentrated demographically and geographically.

            Probably at least 3

            ok so extrapolate the rise in gun violence with YET MORE FIREARMS.

            Man, I love the art and science of firearms and learning to use a new system. I thoroughly enjoyed the range while I was in the military and though I wasn’t infantry, took it seriously and appreciated the skill it takes to employ weapons of war to make war on our enemies.

            Let’s look at the 2a: A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

            2a nutbags will tell you none of the first dozen words count. Look at the situation we have today. Help me make ‘more guns are the answer’ make sense man.

                well your answer is nutbags if you live in the USA. sorry I had a retort to your uninformed / wildly delusional idea of an even more armed US being desirable. sorry if the points I presented prompted some kind of difficulty in your reasoning chum.

        That feels like a CIA Chicago school question less DoD.

          I see what you’re saying but, I feel like Milton and the ghouls would just come after the fact. Shock doctrine and all that jazz happens in the wreckage of the act.

        I’m prepared for the robot dog war. An enemy you can massacre with a completely clear conscience.

          If anyone is taking bets on this guy going up against a weaponized robodog, I can give you solid odds.
