They wanted to do some kinda "strictly regulated sale" thing. [ Reiner shakes his head. ] Someone can be trustworthy and still not be trusted with a loaded weapon. It'd be like distributing guns to untrained civilians and hoping no one gets shot.

Can you imagine how much worse it could've made that blackout? People were panicking. If they'd had the power to, let's say, burn anyone they punched—they would've been burning each other.

[ Reiner realizes he's scowling and tries to stop. ]

But, you're right. Bottom line, I don't want to sell them.
