What the hell does this have to do with hackers?

• benjohnson 14y ago
  Hackers tend to be interested in citizen rights. Even if an individual hacker doesn't exercise a particular right like owning a weapon, a logical assumption is that other rights will also come under scrutiny. My personal hunch is that there's probably good correlation with the existence of "anti-blasphemy" laws and "gun-control" laws among the western democracies.

  We need to be aware and informed about the world in which we live...consider that a gunbroker.com or ebay sniping app could make mad bank in the next few days as people try to snatch up guns and components in possible overreaction to new laws.
