I found this site while searching for plans for a home built nuclear bomb. According to the website you can hire your own private army to do your dirty work. Who says you need to win an election to wage war!!!
Are you serious?!?!?! They have websites on how to make your own nuke's [img]graemlins/saywhat.gif[/img] [/QUOTE]The internet is a very big place, in more ways than one. There are lots of subjects covered, and lots of sites which have the exact same information.
You can do a search for almost anything and come up with 10 pages of results. Websites to make bombs are not uncommon, unfortunately. Even more unfortunatelty, the legality of them depends on where you were when you out them online; and the only places with laws against putting them up are about 5 US States... so basically, yeah. There are sites that tell you how to make your own nukes. And they`re LEGAL.

You know, as the criminal situation gets worse, and they have access to heavier artillery on a mass scale, such as AK-47s, and a shitload of people start dying, they'll have to let law-abiding citizens own more powerful weapons. Not silencers, in the case of civil defense, silencers complicate things incalculably. I'm talking stuff with selective fire, like full sized machineguns, and there is NO WAY to mistake an unloaded machine gun. A child couldn't say it was an accident if they opened the belt box, found daddy's 200 rounds, put the first in, closed the box, chambered the bullet, and THEN blew his head off, now could you? I'm saying this type of legalization might occur in the far future, as our government grows more apathetic, and as the people face something ever closer to an organized army on the streets, it could happen. Of course, in such a Noir world, anyone who needed a machine gun would get one, regardless of the law. Of course, in such a Noir world, we'd already be dead, maybe our grandchildren would just be growing up.

Been reading a little too much 1984 and watching Pink Floyd perhaps?

But you raise valid points. The legislation is already there, it just hasnt been passed yet. I mean who really needs fully-automatic weapons for home defence? Seriously? Allowing a "remedy" is admiting there is a weakness. It means compensating for a weakness when they should be removing that weakness entirely. Its conceding defeat against illegal arms. And why introduce a cure that would be more potent than the cancer?

I can't believe what sites are on the web! In a few years we will see "hire your own electors"!
