The problem there is that many things the public uses originated either as weapons of war, or as technology tangentially developed during wartime. And are still theoretically dangerous now even if they've been repurposed into private commercial uses.

Hell, the Internet only exists because the military invented it specifically for the purposes of coordination during wartime (more specifically, as a non-centralized hub in case of nuclear war). If we went by your logic there you shouldn't be legally allowed to post here about what you think should and shouldn't be allowed, because it was developed as a tool of war, and is definitely dangerous.

And if we avoided every possible technology that could be used to harm others, we wouldn't legally be allowed to own kitchen knives, cars, matches and/or gasoline, or any one of a hundred thousand other things.
