But what can't be argued is that that is what is required. Broad availability of weapons reduces safety,

Then why does California have higher crime rate than Texas? Guns are much much more available in Texas than in California.

There's also the point that anything can harm you accidentally -- Paper cuts anybody? How about toothpicks?

Anything can be turned into a weapon too. A pencil... a Pen... a rock, a stick... I'd have to try real hard with a toothpick... less so with it's larger cousin Clue by Four...

There comes a point where it becomes absurd to try and legislate things away... Don't make something fool proof... cause a bigger fool will always come along.

@penguinwrangler That isnt true. In America, you can buy a gun anywhere at any time. California has just as many guns as Texas. the higher crime rate(if that is even true, i doubt it) is likely due to higher poverty rate.

Yep... sounds about right... at this point they have determined that being hacked in this fashion is acceptable for the organization.
