How happy am I that I am not 'You'! I am confident you are also =)
Regarding the dictats of tyrants, free people will do as they see fit, and events will proceed.
It's not hard to make a bump stock, but easier still to make a firearm from the simplest and most common materials. Institutional controls are unable to control physics, and no matter the beliefs of even hordes of fools, physics establishes what technology eventuates.
In fact, firearms are not the best security technology extant, and neither dictators nor sheeple have a clue what that is. It is useful to note that the actual reality is that each of us is free, no matter what we believe to be the case, and that becoming entrapped in debate regarding what we believe can occupy such ability as we can effect to best prosecute our freedom.
Thanks!
Brazil has strong gun laws. So the drug cartels build SMG factories for themselves. In other countries we have seen cars and bombs used for mass murder. Even mass stabbings have occurred. Gun bans don't stop anyone with evil intent. They only restrict the options of free people and threaten them with government gun violence under color of law.
All quite true, but a thug will drop a hot gun in a quick minute.
Microwaves make firearms obsolete.
Personal microwave devices are impractical, and plastic grips are a thing. Firearms are far from obsolete.
I'd give that more thought, and research masers a bit, before I decided to take a gun to a battlefield saturated with microwaves, or failed to use microwaves against enemies armed with metal guns during armed conflict.
Technology has progressed since chemical propellants were formulated, and firearms are much improved. Knives remain functional for many purposes, and no technology ever loses completely it's utility. Newer technology, such as DEW, isn't as publicly available for very good reasons.
Such as that people possessing it are practically immune from thugs. Those profiting from thuggery find that inconvenient.
If it does come to shooting, a pitched battle is a bad strategy against an established military or police force. Sabotage and subversion come first Guerrilla warfare is a potential last resort. Think Sun Tzu. Don't play to the opponent's strength.
I point out microwaves particularly for that reason. The strength of armies is numbers. One transmitter can obviate that advantage. Creating asymmetrical responses is the heart of Sun Tzu.
