Call me crazy, but I always saw it as a way not to monitor terrorism, although that&#x27;s what they use it for now, but for in the future to ensure they can thwart revolutions within the country. Take away civilian weapons, give yourself the ability to monitor, give yourself the ability to break the law when the &#x27;county&#x27;(read governed) is threatened. Check off all of these points and in a few years when robotics capabilities start ramping up, it&#x27;ll be nearly impossible for a revolution to occur.
