Cool, SCOTUS gets to rule on it again, hopefully with at least one new appointee from me.

The state militia system has evolved into the modern era of multi branched national military. And that was the point of the second amendment, to form a well regulated militia. That is our well regulated militia.

So you could maybe make some argument for a deterrent effect, but in general, the US hasn’t really had to actively use the militia against external forces in a long time.

This is all the more reason we dont need everyone in America armed. We're not thwarting off foreign miltaries anywhere near our borders.

In the spirit of the constitution, the right to bear arms will be to form a well regulated militia. Meaning gun licensing comes with mandatory military service.

Right, it's a new technology, its usage is being curated. Even once they release a publicly accessible application, it'll be like going to the hammer renting store, you get to go there and use a hammer, for a fee sometimes, you cant bring the hammer home or own it, they regulate what you can work on with it, it can be overused and inaccessible while demand is high, they can discontinue access when they want.

And they can and do give more access to wealthier clients.

Its a common misconception, prices are never based on cost, its what people are willing to pay. Now, what people are willing to pay can be influenced by perceived costs, but thats pretty artificial too. The prices at a restaurant for example vary pretty wildly in profit margins. Pretty famously, sodas cost cents to make, but people are willing to pay orders of magnitude more.

They both always are. Companies make up the prices, and price increases. Predicting how much folks are willing to pay.

All these folks talking in work chats in encryption algorithms and riddles, if only a technology could make these words legible.
