Oops! You don't want to kill the thread. You want the last word.
You are of course wrong, and thus the thread continues.

Errm, no. The constitution does not grant rights. It guarantees some
of the rights which are given to everyone by God.

Both are issues of freedom. If you do not defend your freedom,
it _will_ be taken from you. Sadly, encryption was not defended
well enough. At least we still have a few small weapons.

Neither does your I-get-the-last-word post.

There you go again, adding fuel to the fire. You ought to fight
for your natural rights. Those that give up their freedom for a
bit of comfort deserve neither and will get neither. All throughout
history, oppressive governments have disarmed people so that the
people may be controlled like dumb sheep. (you are a dumb sheep)

That's quite a bit of fuel right there, associating gun ownership
with racism. Gun owners can shoot KKK members you know! That might
be justified too, if you are a victem of them.

We banned gun ownership in Washington D.C., and crime rates soared.
