As someone down the hall just said to me... "there are not enough bullets"

Worse -- much as we find this stuff disgusting and want to shoot these
people, we can't assume it's actualy illegal to do so. And it's an
interesting question; even if it's illegal where you are, what does that
mean to someone in, oh, Taiwan. Or Malaysia?

So -- while at one level you're correct, in practice, we need a solution
that deals with the problem now. And that means building walls with a gate,
and  a nice, burly guard making sure they check the ID before opening the
door, because if we wait for the war to be outlawed and the army to be
disbanded, we'll die of old age (and do so as a serf of the other side...)
