So, why are guns necessary?

So, no projectile weapons whatsoever? Maybe we will return to bow and arrow? See #5.

Is a ball of plasma not a projectile? What about an arrow makes it not a projectile?

I assert this.

And that is wrong.

Not at all. It merely assumes that One World Governments would deal better with very-long-term goals than 200 opposed and constantly-fluctuating governments.

That is correct. However, you do not have 200 opposed and constantly-fluctuating governments within the USA, yet you seem to think long-term planning would be a bad idea for the USA?

1. If no one assumed anything about anyone else, guess what: there would be no communication between humans!

Sounds good.

2. You acknowledged that these were indeed your assumptions.

You found out my secret, oh noes!

Yes, the idea is that this makes no sense.

And that is wrong.

It's wrong 'cause it's wrong, right?

That is correct. However, you do not have 200 opposed and constantly-fluctuating governments within the USA, yet you seem to think long-term planning would be a bad idea for the USA?

To be more precise, 200 national governments. With the current state-federal structure, and still suspended within an international system, there might as well be no difference though, compared to the potential stability of Policy in a World-State.
