Possibly not today, but back in 1776....


Exactly. I am _not_ in favor of gun confiscation, but I really can't
accept the idea of the unorganized militia, with sporting weapons,
deterring either regulars or invaders. With a laptop and intimate
knowledge of communications networks, I can be a MUCH nastier deterrent.

But hunters with guns can make invasions more expensive, and give you and your
laptop time to be effective.
