42. 1 - that wouldn't happen in reality.

It's too broad an action with too many repercussions. 2 - I was paranoid about a lot of things during the Bush years, because they would get us if they could. Used alternative addresses and phone #'s on petitions going to the WH on Congress during those years and was always careful of the language I used. I'd rather do this and maybe a few innocent people couldn't get a gun rather than openly have terorrists sending their supporters here to buy all the munitions they want, which is what's happening now. SCOTUS got it way wrong, just like they did with Citizens United. Judicial activism at it's worst.
