if you ask me, I’d say private individuals should be able to own fully functioning fighter jets and war planes, similar to how it’s done in the US but an actual functioning units well, yeah, you can’t do much against an ICBM, it largely is a demoralization type of device, it sure could and it does kills lots of people at once, but the demoralization aspect of it is even bigger and you are going for miles to expand on that fear. it is just it is something you can’t exactly win a war with either, because there is not much of a point of turning a country into a a wasteland as it will become unusable sure, there will still be plenty of resources, but not much people you can use to harvest them I don’t necessarily agree that the centralized army should be completely eradicated or abolished momentarily, that will surely help your enemy, but am strongly against less guns=less violence narrative, for disarming everyone EXCEPT for the government and am sure is against collectively owning firearms through government EXCLUSIVELY, I hope you do understand that what I am saying is to keep your 2nd line of defense (your police, your army, your allies) but make ABSOLUTE SURE that your 1st line of defense, an armed trained and prepared individual to be there as a first and foremost priority again, I also am against fear mongering for ICBMs and using that as an argument for disarmament, I just don’t see how would it promote any conclusion other than “we better disarm and give up if we want to live”

No, ICBMs, ballistic missiles, and cruise missiles are not just "demoralization" devices. They're highly effective, if expensive, ways to take out critical assets that you need to win wars. Long range drones as well. Russia is sending waves of hundreds of propeller (and increasingly jet) powered drones that each can deliver an ~50kg explosive payload. If not for anti-air defenses, each one of those drones could result in important infrastructure being taken out. Leave war up to the experts who are actually fighting it. You don't have a clue how this actually works in reality.
