How does having my own guns and money be forcibly taken from me by a separate organization make me more secure? See, this is the mistake statists make with everything. You see something big and complicated, in this case defense of the homeland, and you just assume it has to be managed by a government. You do it with everything, and then after the government predictably mismanages everything, you blame the regime or some particular policy instead of the system where one guy is allowed to dictate standards for industries they know nothing about.
You wont have much of any industries without a government to provide rule of law and property rights for them.
USA will be just like Somalia in the 1990s the way you are going bud.
Poetic justice perhaps.

Why do I need the greatest violator of property rights to enforce property rights? It makes no sense. Citing Somalia as the prime example of statelessness is such a meme scare tactic. We're not even at Hyperbitcoinization yet. Have some imagination.

Fun fact: Somalia's economy improved relative to its neighbors after its government collapsed.
Even the lazy "What about Somalia?" pseudo-argument works against them when you make the right comparison.

That's a very fun fact. I should have known.
