I've got five good reasons why restricting hacking tools is not like gun control.But you seem willing to throw guns under the bus in order to keep those tools, and carve out yet another exception for "The Only Ones," as if that will do anything other than ensure corrupt exclusivity.
If you're going to make a statement like "many incidents of gun violence are not caused by criminals," I'd be interested in seeing if you know what you're talking about. How many is "many"? What percentage of "gun violence" perpetrators have no prior criminal affiliations, and what is your source for this claim?
Only a hack or a tool would go around promulgating seemingly authoritative assertions without actual knowledge, don't you think?
