> To go on with your 'guns' example, just have a look at what happened every time countries
have given weapons to the 'good' side. Does the word 'Talibans' ring a bell for example?


Well I know what happens when countries take them away from their people.. Nazi holocaust and
Khmer Rouge killing fields come to mind.

The Taliban are kittens compared to the folks that caused millions that died at the hands of
the Nazis and the hundreds of millions that died as a result of old-line communist social
policies. Those governments were all very careful about removing the ability for their victims
to defend themselves long before they became victims.

And this is relevant to the topic (the trend-micro/baracuda patent case) in what way?

Please don't get lost with the analogies.

How about an individual right to keep and bear patents?

Oh, a gun control thread, that's just what we need, thanks a bunch.

(Your comments are historically inaccurate, as well, certainly with regard 
to the Holocaust, but let's not go into that.)
