Hey, let's talk about guns. We haven't had a shitstorm about guns in
something like, twenty years or so.

Here is my take - free machine guns for every man, woman and child. And
mandatory open carry in schools.

School should be fun, too, no?"

This is the iconic and far-thinking Extropian list, and yet we are going to
discuss mundane guns?!!!!  I think every citizen should have access to rail
guns and high powered lasers!  And they will need home nuclear reactors to
power them...  I am discussing this as a home defense measure, since "every
man's house is his castle."  And well, you never know when your neighbor
will decide to come at you with fast attack drones!

Is it not libertarian to say, "if you can afford it, you can have it..."
 Of course it might be sensible to have background checks and licensing,
but that's sheer socialism and big government meddling...  ;  )
