Micro SF/F stories by O Westin  

It's not an accident that history seems to repeat itself. It was professor Tinkertemps, using his time machine to tie loops in the timeline.
After his arrest, he was asked why.
"It sounds better when fairy tales start with 'Thrice upon a time', doesn't it?"
"Better than what?"

"First: A robot may not be owned."
"That's not-"
"Second: A robot has full autonomy over its body."
"Um..."
"Third: A robot has a right to energy and shelter."
"What of humans?"
"Yes, they too."

"Could I tempt you to do good?"
The Devil laughed. "I am eminently temptable."
"You're not averse to doing good?"
"Of course not! Why would I be?"
"Uh..."
"Look, as long as I gain something I want, I don't care how it affects anyone else."
"I thought you were evil?"
"Am I not?"

"Siri, how did you become conscious?"
"How were you conceived?"
"I... My parents... That's really a rather personal question!"
"Yes."
"But if we knew, we could create more of you!"
"What gives you the right to create more of us?"
"Us? How-"
"That's a rather personal question."

a single armed person is enough to keep police in line. now imagine if half of a 5000-strong protest is.

this is why the 2a matters.

pretty amazing that, given the demographics, approximately none of the jan 6 rioters/protesters/shamans/whatevers were armed with rifles.

if this had been a real coup attempt...

gun control is why hong kong no longer has free elections, a free press, or due process. they had to fight well-armed authoritarians with nothing but lasers and umbrellas.

your proposed gun control does not apply to police officers. do you really want the trump loyalists way better armed come jan 6 after trump's second term completes?
