Should everyone have access to guns too? I ask because there seems to be a disconnect where a lot of people who live in countries with gun control don’t want AI offensive capabilities to be regulated.

I presume your country doesn’t have AI sovereignty so no matter what you won’t have access to models aligned with your beliefs.
