This was an entertainingly written story, full of irony and satire.  The piece about only law-abiding citizens breaking the law was very good, and the ironic ending was satisfying.

I have my doubts that military weapons and nuclear bombs can be produced by what appeared to be a fruit-machine, but putting that aside, it was excellent.

A fruit machine? Maybe it was created by an unholy alliance of the Krupp weapons manufacturing dynasty and ... Apple. And those bumpy-surfaced fragmentation grenades were called "pineapples", weren't they? ;D

(Actually, I'm pretty sure the nameplate on the machine said that it was an ACME product. They finally got the bugs out of their designs after decades of selling faulty equipment to Wile E. Coyote.)
You can't wait for inspiration. You have to go after it with a club.
