gollark: That sounds pretty hard.
gollark: Take cars. Lots of people have cars, which are giant heavy metal boxes designed to move at high speeds. Those are dangerous. Lithium-ion batteries can explode or catch fire or whatnot. Maybe future technology we all depend on will have some even more dangerous component... programmable nanotech or something, who knows. *Is* there a good solution to this?
gollark: That sort of thing is arguably an increasingly significant problem, since a lot of the modern technology we depend on is pretty dangerous or allows making dangerous things/contains dangerous components.
gollark: Or change them.
gollark: I'm not saying "definitely allow all weapons" (recreational nukes may be a problem), but that it would be nice to at least actually follow their own laws.
