What's gonna happen when the redneck militias start building these on their compounds? I'm terrified of domestic implications - police departments can't go buy old military gear to squash these yet.

They carry high explosive warheads that aren't sold to civilians. It's the same reason the militias don't already have anti-tank weapons.

Over time I assume an individual will wield more destructive power. How long before any individual person can conjure up world-ending munitions?
