Given Pu, a gun type nuke is basically banging two rocks together. Given DU, Pu is just hitting it with fast neutrons and chemically separating. Given marginally free hydropower, fast neutrons are a homebrew fusor and a light switch away. DU and hydro turbines are cheap. A hobbyist with patience can build a lowtech fission bomb.

Carfentanil can be manufactured by the billions of lethal doses - or scaled to trillions, with a HELOC.

Virosynthesis isn't a hobbyist endeavor yet but soon will be.

The only reason we aren't all dead is lack of incentive. Of course a sufficiently bad government can change the incentive structure overnight.
