Just get or make a personal or vehicle-mounted binary flamethrower, they are totally unrestricted for owning or carrying in all states and territories.
Flamethrowers are great against infantry, not so good against attack helicopters and fighter jets.
It doesn't have to be comparable. There are more non-government citizens than there are of us who are the government. And I would seriously hope that those in the armed forces would have the sense not to turn on their own people.
You have a very odd picture of the armed forces. They will "turn on" whoever they're asked to.
British soldiers in Northern Ireland during the Troubles were quite willing to kill fellow British citizens who were perceived as terrorists. This is not a criticism.
All you US armchair revolutionaries need to consider how you will be pictured when you take up your precious guns and try to take on the government. Hint: you won't be called Freedom Fighters.
For some perspective, in preparation for Operation Downfall, 500,000 Purple Hearts were made. They made so many that we were still using that same batch in Afghanistan and Iraq in the 2000s.
THAT'S how many people were expected to be wounded, let alone killed, and that was just the American side of the conflict.
Alternatively, the guy in charge of procurement had a cousin in the medal-making business.
Devil's Advocate here, but maybe the reason is that all kinds of data is out in public, and some of it is likely flawed. Maybe there's a paper that theorized that you could set a Dewar's flask of liquid hydrogen next to an A-bomb to get an H-bomb. But Dr. Broad is a respected authority, and if he says "we did it this way" without mentioning the Dewar's flask idea, a rogue state would know what not to try.
Remember, these guys get about one shot to get their test explosion right, because in about an hour after a successful test of an H-bomb by anyone the US considers a threat the USAF is going to be raining actual working H-bombs on their entire nuclear program, with a few diverted to cover the presidential palace, the parliament, and essentially every researcher and civilian within a 20-km radius of the aforementioned targets. The US will not tolerate a new state of MAD with a new non-Western-approved government.
So India, Pakistan and North Korea definitely don't have any nuclear weapons then?
Since I had to look it up, and I can't be the only one, RWNJ is Right Wing Nut Job. And if an American is calling someone that, they're basically some sort of neo-Nazi.
I could see there being a good story basis in having them need to come back to look into something from the past. Think of it like the British show New Tricks, wherein the solution to the cases hinge on the retired detectives knowledge of the time in which the event occurred.
Politicians in the UK regularly talk about how schools should be teaching the skills that employers want. Of course by that they usually mean basic English and maths, but you have to start your dystopia somewhere.
Leaving school with a basic knowledge of English and Maths is not a bad minimum. The dystopian scenario involves no teaching of history, politics, economics, literature, philosophy or other subjects which invite original speculation and the questioning of societal norms.
yeah or not the basic physical and mathematical constitutive relationships that describe our universe are indisputably the most important tools any individual can access. case closed, go argue with yourself in a closet somewhere.
A profound knowledge of physics or maths does not make you immune from broader stupidity or from being taken in by lies. You only have to look at the number of physicists and other scientists who genuinely supported the Nazis.
If you have never experienced the clear, exacting system of thought in physics, mathematics or chemistry, you will always be an IDIOT who can be sold ANYTHING. You will be completely at the mercy of the person selling you some shit or some truth or a mix of both.
Clear thinking is based on standing of the shoulders of great scientists, not by standing on the shoulders of some AgitProp faggots and their paymasters in finance.
A philosopher would say the same thing about standing on the shoulders of great philosophers, an historian about great historians, and so on.
Clear thinking can be developed by studying any subject in sufficient depth, as you inevitably end up having to know logic, the structure of a good argument, the importance of evidence and so on even if it's Fine Art or Sociology.
There is a good reason why employers look on a degree as worthwhile despite its apparent practical irrelevance to work.
If you're a uniquely brilliant student (like everyone on slashdot, apart from me) then spending a little time with slower students who might be good at different things (sports, poetry, jokes, whatever) is extremely good preparation for real life where you will not be the unique snowflake you were at school.
Labor unions aren't solely responsible for workers rights. The government is our primary tool for enabling worker's rights. The government enacted the 40 day work week, overtime laws, etc (with help from unions), and governments are the ones who enforce these laws today. Unions were a tool which was necessary because in the early 1900's the government simply did not take on the responsibility. That is not the case today.
Wow, you elected a socialist government in the US and I didn't hear about it? You created a workers' paradise and overnight removed the power and wealth from the corporations?
Oh no, sorry, it's just that you're talking rubbish.
So you're saying they generate a negatively-charged cloud of inform-ions with non-linear chaotic impactification on the hard won synergistic leverages utilised by match-fit holistic eco-political growth imagineering combining best-in-practice core competencies with agile red tiger team methodological output matrices?
We all negotiate our own pay scales, for which mine is above average because I am a valued worker and can negiotiate for myself
Ah yes, the perennial slashdot "I am a special snowflake and can command whatever salary I like because of my enormous...talent".
Here's a clue: a lot of people have jobs where if they asked for a pay rise (as an individual), they would simply be let go and replaced. One burger flipper is much like another.
And, no, not everyone can be a software billionaire by the age of 25.
Finnish subjects finished as subjects in 1918. Now they will finish subjects in Finnish schools and subject Finnish students to topics subject to subjects being finished.
Europe these days is a bunch of socialist, maoist and otherwise collectivist cocksuckers whoe will sell our the compatriots to ANY alien person who wields a bunch of dollar bills combined with some sodomy.
Traitors who suck up to US UK occupiers while pretending to be somehow peaceloving collectivists. In reality they only crave for power and to shit into the corner of the nice loo created by great kings like Eberhard, the Duke of Wuerttemberg. He created the Tuebingen University and founded a world class education system. Daimler, Benz, Bosch, Einstein, Schiller all stand of the shoulder of Eberhard.
The perversity of MONEY and its totally corrosive influence on our culture can be seen by the collectivist scum denouncing Eberhard and worshipping some communist devil instead. Burn in flames, Sodom and Gomorrea !
tl:dr version: It's a Jewish-Bolshevik conspiracy.
There are a range of possible responses, and full military invasion is perhaps not the appropriate choice following an anonymous call via an untraceable service.

Why? There is no shame in knowing how to build a weapon. Not even in building it.
There can only be shame in using it.
Well that conveniently lets scientists off the hook completely, as they are never going to be the ones deciding to use it are they?

I suspect the new mini-series will have some sort of embedded sublimital leftist propaganda messages like most American TV shows have these days.
I know, what with that and the fluoride in the water you might as well be living in Soviet China.
A new Quantum Leap would be cool
On the basis that sequels are the opposite in quality of the original, you may have a point.
He's an actor - who cares about his political predilections?
When people say this, it usually means the actor supports their political predilections.

Twin Peaks is/was crap
Compared with what? Shakespeare? Jersey Shore?
The nineties were an era of innocence
Only someone born after the year 2000 could possibly say that with a straight face.
I could see there being a good story basis in having them need to come back to look into something from the past. Think of it like the British show New Tricks, wherein the solution to the cases hinge on the retired detectives knowledge of the time in which the event occurred.

Then it's just cowardice and laziness.

And what happens when they treat you unfairly? Or are all the employers in your happy world perfect?
