flamethrowers is just bigger lighter
not a gun
IIRC you are constitutionally allowed to own tanks. And fighter jets
But no one does because they're big and expensive. The couple people that do own them privately use them as a tourist trap or for historical preservation.
Nothing really funcitonal.
Actually, one exception. Larry Ellison owns a fighter jet. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/larry-ellison-owns-a-fighter-jet-yacht-racing-team-and-supercars-galore-so-what-did-the-billionaire-7873541.html
you are only technically allowed to, and it requires an absurd amount of paperwork
i think if you served in the military and get like twelve seperate permits you can own a tank
If you have enough for a fighter jet, you have enough for lawyers to sort all the stuff out quick
No, As I understand it has more to do with ITAR issues.
if your rich enough whats to stop you from getting an ICBM??
nothing
look at putin
Mostly you have to be able to show you aren't using it to wage war or acting as a straw purchaser for someone like Iran.
I mean, do you know anyone selling ICBMs?
and trump
You get a nuke, you get a nuke, EVERYONE GETS A NUKE
The AnCap way.
I WANT TWO THANK YOU VERY MUCH
truly
i mean, russia misplaces them often enough, its probably easy to get a nuke from them
oh def its not realistic
You cant nuke me, you’ll violate my NAP you commie
but funny though
I'll nuke the NAP with the first one and then nuke you, checkmate
i used the NAP joke yesterday in response to a friends post in another discord
we already live in an ancap world
its the internet
they just don't like where it eventually evolves to.
Don't follow.
But whatever.
You can’t nuke my NAP, it has super magic armor. REEEEE
ancap, if you think about it, is where civilization started. The first person to trade with another. It all eventually lead to here.
I think you're using very broad definitions of alot of things. But that doesn't really matter.
I don't think the world is exactly AnCap anymore.
Look at a light infantry regiment's TOE, A few trucks with radios, Assualt Rifles (STGs), Light Machine Guns and or Machine Rifles (LMG /MRs), body armor and helmets, what is so unreasonable about that?
not anymore, no, probably not. I say we live it because all it is basically advocating, is hitting the reset button on all of civilization. Not in a violent way. But there is nothing stopping us from ending up here again.
with all the advances in tech, we have not solved the main problem that lead from ancap to here: The human problem.
break down civilization back to our basic family tribes, nothing stops history from repeating itself
I'd disagree. There have been ideas that have reached basically everywhere.
