      Hi!

      I think it’s the competition between the hope that we will never have to use weaponry versus the responsibility of a government to protect its people.

      It will depend on the threats that face a particular country, and everyone will draw the line in a different place.

      Hope this helps!

      Hi Harukaoki,

      Unfortunately if we didn’t terrorist would, we don;t use weapons so much for offence reasons, other than for fighting terrorism and therefore keeping the UK a safer place to live. It’s unfortunate we need to build weapons but it’s a necessity for Defence and probably always will be.
