@Bill4 This is actually a very interesting article (and later comments), just read after reading an NRA article. Many of the arguments are the same "against the Constitutional freedom of xxx", "how do they think limiting x will protect people", and so forth. I think in both cases we need limitations, possibly administered by the federal government (because we'll get too much fragmentation in laws). And, in both cases, if the laws become overly stringent, we open the possibility of allowing a government to become oppressive. Personally, I'm not sure of the answer... especially for the Internet. For gun control, at least, a waiting period, background checks, and required training make sense. For the Internet?... but SOPA definitely does not help us!
