+# Wellspring: Private Possession of Weapons
+
+# Residents must have access to any weapons the police/military can use.
+
+Implicit in the right to life is the right to defend one's life against initiations of force by other conagents. Therefore `WS` categorically denies to the legislature the power to make any laws which infringe on the residents' **pre-existing** right to keep and bear **all** weapons _which are in use by the police and military_. In particular:
+- Any weapon which is in use by the police force **must** be freely and **liberally** available for purchase, distribution and use by the residents of a `WS` polity without exception.
+- Any weapon which is in use by the military **must** be freely and **liberally** available for purchase, distribution and use by the residents of a `WS` polity, unless that weapon meets any of the following criteria:
+  - The weapon is has intercontinental range, or range that extends beyond the borders of the `WS` polity.
+  - The weapon, in its normal use-case, is designed to cause indiscriminate destruction at a scale larger than an ordinary building structure.
+
+Ergo, any weapons which are denied to the police and military by the "Weaponry denied to the police and military" section below, are also denied to the private residents of a `WS` polity.
+
+## Weaponry denied to the police and military:
+
+The government shall never arm the police and/or military with weapons which have the following characteristics:
+- Weapons which harness biological entities/organisms to cause harm to individuals; commonly known as "biological weapons".
+- Weapons which harness an ability to **modify/write** to the consciousness (whether the data/memory, goals and/or algorithms/logic) of a conscious agent.
+  - This shall not be construed to infringe on the rights of private conagents to volitionally use brain-computer interfaces and other similar technologies on their own consciousness, or on the consciousnesses of other consenting conagents.
+
+The use, **by the government**, of technologies that grant the ability to **read** from the consciousness (whether the data/memory, goals and/or algorithms/logic) of a conscious agent are to be subject to those constraints outlined elsewhere in this constitution (_Chapter 08, Courts_) without exception.
+
+## The "recreational nuke" controversy:
+
+If at any time, for any reason, weapons of mass destruction are deployed by a `WS` government against the internal residents of a `WS` polity, every single conagent currently holding a political office in the legislative and executive branches shall **immediately** become an outlaw without exception.
+
+For this reason, politicians holding office are advised to hold impeachment proceedings against any individual holding a political office who is engaged in conspiracy to deploy a weapon of mass destruction against the internal residents of a `WS` polity.
