We should start a DAO to develop force fields a la Star Trek. Nobody can argue against force fields, and their proliferation would be beneficial to everyone. Make nukes useless and governments will stop spending money on them.

Force fields are great until someone sneaks the nuke inside in a box or suitcase and detonates it inside the force field.

True true. But at least it would mitigate the threat of ICBMs, the most likely delivery method. Anyway, my point is that it would be nice if defense was more focused on... defense. I mean, systems that detect and neutralize weapons instead of people.

The problem ultimately with weapons is not in the weapons. It is within the minds of the people that wield them. That is also where the problem lies. How do we heal the minds of people?

People can and do kill people with all manner of objects. More people are killed each year by fists than they are guns. Knives also apply. Cars...

Pick up a rock, break a bottle, use a tent stake, put a fork in it, etc.

The problem is in the minds. There will always be some level of this.

However, some weapons guarantee collateral damage. I personally don't think collateral damage should ever be acceptable. EVER.
