I LOVE this response! This is the kind of comment that totally destroys
Rich Graves' position: Graves' would allow the government to screw with US,
as ordinary citizens, while we're denied the ability to defend ourselves.
Maybe I was excessively rude by calling Rich Graves a "fucking statist" on
this list, but I don't think I was at all inaccurate.
