A world, where your security is no longer in your own hands but guaranteed by some kind of benevolent patron.

If my security is absolutely guaranteed by a benevolent patron, why would I need a gun?

Why, to shoot trap, of course! And skeet. And .22 rimfire rifle competition. And bullseye pistol.

Would our benevolent patrons still let us do that? If so, I'd be cool with that.

How about hunting? Will animals be resurrected too if they die? If I kill and animal and eat it, how much do I have to leave in order to clone it? Actually, in paradise, will we still have to eat? If not, will we still have to poop? These are important questions, and I really want to know.
