Is using AI for domestic defense more and more nullifying the second amendment?

1•bdelmas•1h ago
We can see what is currently happening with the Pentagon and AI companies. Soon enough AI will be used by domestic government agencies. When we know how effective AI can be, IMO guns are going to be more and more useless for any type of defense against a rogue group that can use AI at a state or nation scale. For me a part of the second amendment is here to protect the people against an imbalance of power and a rogue group to the whole government going rogue.

Am I mistaking? And is AI not undermining more and more the second amendment making guns weapons of the past? How can we avoid this?

I'm going to ramble based on our guns argument:

I don't know that "guns" have ever been useful in the US vs a state. Historically there ws the revolution, but the state used them, not randos in the end. Civil War, that was state vs state.

Guns just allow someone to kill or hurt someone, there's no magic to them that makes the defend your rights anymore than someone take someone else's. In fact the latter seems far more popular.
