What’s an appropriate ceiling for the lethality afforded to ordinary people? WMDs? Short range ballistic missiles? Artillery? Mortars? Anti-Aircraft weapons like MANPADS? Anti-armor weapons? RPGs? Explosives? Combat drones? Fully automatic weapons? Semi-automatic weapons? Firearms? Crossbows? Compound bows?
Why does the cost/benefit to society benefit from affording that level of lethality to ordinary people?
