Protecting oneself from gunmen by surrounding oneself with gunmen with bigger guns sounds great until you think about it a bit more.
Thats when paranoia hits.
With a big enough crowd, no matter the size of the gun, the crowd wins.
Let them feel uncomfortable for the rest of their existence.
People seem to be forgetting the existence of robots (such as Spot and Atlas from Boston Dynamics) that can be adapted with guns and programmed to serve the rich in a way that (supposedly) won't turn against them.... (Until someone gets to hack those metallic dogs)
These robots (particularly Spot) are already being used for security and guarding purposes. It's a matter of not if, but when, they get transformed into dystopian real-life Cyberdyne machines.
That cuts both ways. It's only a matter of time until we see Ukrainian style flying drone bombs on the other side.
Tiny drones with a small explosive charge, send a dozen to land on their head and shoulder area and explode. Good luck defending against that.
Aerostats. Once again, Neal Stephenson already called it.
Paranoia should hit even harder if you decide to surround yourself with smart killer robots.
That's why you end up with an army that is too powerful for anyone civilian to resist.
Doesnt sound too great if you're dead. Guns make ridiculously terrible defensive weapons. Gun nuts dont seem to understand this. Whoever gets bullet into meat first wins, and surrounding yourself with guns just guarantees vengeance after you're dead meat, not safety. The size of your clip doesnt matter either. Its argued over as a distraction-- and was chosen as a legal battleground because its a pointless concern.
