I'm frankly amazed the assassinations haven't started already. Oh, yeah; right: the Democrats are the ones who are pro-gun-"control".

Um, lets keep talk of assasinations off of LWN, please? Thanks.

As opposed to killfiling people, which is of course still acceptable ;)

It's a shame that we can't killfile politicians, isn't it?

Sorry, I couldn't see a point in his rantings, which as far as I could understand them struck me as impractical at best; no man is an island and if you try to ban government from some sphere to keep it from growing overweeningly powerful you get overweeningly powerful private actors there instead. I consider them every bit as dangerous...
