So you like guns.

I'm interested in knowing what weapons, body armour and other high tech gadgetry you think should be allowed to the ~~general public~~ private citizen, not affiliated to any government and not necessary skilled in the use of the device.

This is for me a very interesting question because most people will have limits, even if that limit is a nuclear weapon. The limits various people have help me understand their political beliefs better.

Edit: If you do think there should be no limits on ownership, please indicate if you have procedural limits on the use of a typical item.

Imposing limits on others is itself a WMD.

I consider private citizens, people.
Corporations, people.
Nonprofits, people.
Governments, also just people.

You can't have limits, for the simple reason that when you do it, only thing it does is dumb down a lot of naive people to believe that something isn't being developed or doesn't exist. (like the Manhattan Project doesn't exist, Anders Breivik didn't use firearms in his terror act in norway because norway forbids firearm possession).

So no limits at all - no limits on ownership, no limits on access to said weapon, no weapon safety skills courses? Just buy, own and use anything you want, any time or anywhere you want?

That's pretty ballsy.
