No, that was not the argument at hand. The argument was whether high skill vs. low skill vectors of attack somehow change the ethical judgement involved in allowing something in the first place. I don't care that you hijacked the thread in this direction, but I do think it was a hijack. How does bringing up Sarin gas help your argument here? Sarin gas = illegal, low "skill vector"[1] This firearm = legal, low "skill vector" Unless you don't consider consistency important, you seem to be arguing that either sarin gas should be made legal or this firearm should be made illegal. I think you failed at making the point you were trying to make. [1] I'm assuming here that sarin gas has a "low skill vector". That's obviously not true.
