It's a weapon meant to deny the use of an area by threatening non-selective permanent physical damage. There are very few legitimate civil use cases for something like that.
- Aeolun 2y agoSomething like protecting the capitol from being stormed by a mob?

- timewizard 2y agoI might have tried just closing and locking the doors first.
- ta1243 2y agoYes because Trump's lot are too stupid to break down windows and doors https://edition.cnn.com/videos/politics/2021/01/06/jim-himes-inside-washington-dc-protest-congress-electoral-college-vpx.cnn https://edition.cnn.com/videos/politics/2021/01/06/jim-himes...
- timewizard 2y agoYou really believe the security of those windows in the Capitol comes down to the glass? That you're even willing to accept this proposition says something. Anyways, to my point, clearly observable in that picture are security shutters, on the sides of the window, left open and unlocked. I might have closed and locked those.

- alabastervlog 2y agoYou could outfit the front steps with crewed machine guns, but apparently they only do that if they expect people protesting in favor of liberal values.
- Aeolun 2y agoI thought they made these sound cannons so they didn’t have to mow down their own populace? I also feel like that’d have a counterproductive effect.
