I read that some people on the forum try to buy weapons and can't because of the restrictive laws. Some are even willing to go on a journey of hope. I just wanted to say that in Somalia in Mogadishu, Baidoa, Kismayo and other cities these things are sold to anyone (unfortunately even children). I speak of this from direct knowledge when I was volunteering. There are open-air markets with AK-47 rifles for as little as 70 euros, F1 grenades for 10 euros, fuses and detonators for 5-15 euros. They even have rocket launchers. Nobody pays attention. A rifle is uncertain in terms of lethality, but if you buy a Chinese grenade 67 that costs 5 dollars in those markets and activate it in your mouth it produces 4,184 j/g TNT, in short 334,720 joules, a force equivalent to 120 12-gauge shots. There is no salvation, it is 100% certain death. In that case there is no fear of failure.

A juicy white city boy like me traveling to Somalia? They'd never even find my body.

The US government says to make a will, arrange care for your family and pets and appoint a family member to be the contact for the U.S. and host country government agencies, and members of Congress if you are taken hostage or detained. Oh also leave DNA samples. So they can identify your charred/various body parts. I wish I was kidding.

That would be a VERY uncertain journey, me thinks.
