The ugliest part is induced demand for violence. A lot of political actions are based on making sure their weapon manufacturer constituents are getting their bread buttered - leading to fabricated pretexts for killing humans to make sure the money train keeps rolling.

If hell is real, weapon manufacturer lobbyists are certainly on the guest list.

I'm painfully aware that a lot of weapon manufacturers are carefully paying attention to this real life test of their weapons.
