Well, those disposed to deny the principle in question will claim they fall flat. Neither I nor the philosophers I read are so inclined.

Here's a philosophical point to consider: while the firepower(s) controlled by States have become greatly magnified over the centuries, should they be kept so disproportionate to the firepower(s) in private hands, or should a nearer approach to parity be the guiding idea instead?
