There has never been a case where governments are able to hide technology from the people for more than a decade at a time in modern history. It might start out expensive, innovations usually do, but over time the expense drops, someone makes a quick buck selling to the masses, and all of a sudden money is meaningless.

Worst case scenario you may have to use your second amendment rights to acquire the technology for the masses, which is what it was designed for.

If you can afford the machines and the associated power usage, yes. Though the magnets inside are what you really want and would be easier to set in place than the whole machine.

If someone is attacking me, I would rather take the chance of getting my gun out and ending them than trying to wrestle with them and potentially losing. If someone is attempting to kill you, I would take the great equalizer any day.

By your second point, the situation only becomes less safe for one person, the one without a gun. Having a firearm makes you more safe against a threat without one, and no more or less safe from a threat with one.

Small arms are not inherently offensive or defensive weapons. In fact a pistol is more defensive than offensive in many circumstances. The only true offensive weapons are those that cannot be used defensively, ones that cannot discriminate against targets, for example, a grenade.

Good take until the end.

Point of View: It is the year of our lord two thousand and thirty, and your doctor has told you “I do not know brother, that is tough.” Because they used a large language model throughout their college classes.

Not entirely. The concept of Germans escaping to Argentina is real, ranking party members and leaders would hide with the help of the Catholic church and make their way to neutral Spain, then take a boat to Argentina which accepted Germans and their ideals plus helped them attain new identities and jobs in the country. Mossad hunted down and assassinated many high ranking Nazis in Argentina and Spain. Operation Paperclip specifically only took German scientists, and the Russians did the same. If you could not be taken under Paperclip, you went to Argentina.

I saw we should fund NASA like conspiracy theorists think we do. It’s amazing how much they do with so “little” money.
