>I think I do but why do you say this? I didn't understand how it connects to the rest of your comment, or to mine.

not the parent, but i have a guess.

they mention the variety of weapons because some weapons are abhorrent. designed to be maximally painful, for the maximum amount of time, purely to bring about maximum suffering.

"every weapon at your disposal" includes those weapons. and that is really difficult to square with "im a pacifist", even when considering conditional pacifism.
