Hendryk stop, you would get more out of discussing Plato with a wall than continuing this discussion. Just let this abominated joke of a WI die in peace.

My thread on the revisionist theory of the Cold War was a political stunt.

This is a legitimate question--I was wondering where the cannon on the ships went.

Okay fair enough, it disappeared because European fleets began to hunt down the pirates and conquer any states who protected them, today pirates attack is extremely rare and their attack form has changed to nightly commando raids, which make heavy weapon borderline useless, beside that heavy arm has become more expensive. So there're little need for armed mechantsships. To avoid this you need to turn our techological and societial progress two century back.
 
Stop dancing around the issue. You were talking about how, if military-grade weapons were available, armed bigots would shut down alcohol distributors and porn producers.

There are sufficient weapons available to do that NOW and that hasn't happened yet.

I can't see them shutting down either of those, unless ome kind of demagogue comes around (When you live out in the country, beer is one your only sources of entertainment... and no matter how puritanical a society gets, porn almost always finds a way) but, on the other hand, I can CERTAINLY see abortion clinics, for instance, being blown off the map on a regular basis.
