Hello,

&gt; Long story short, RMS is getting strong minded about this issue and
&gt; I am curious as to what other, well respected Linux community members
&gt; think.
I wrote most of the OPL. I stand by it.

The biggest hypocrites on gun control are those who live in upscale
developments with armed security guards -- and who want to keep other
people from having guns to defend themselves. But what about
lower-income people living in high-crime, inner city neighborhoods?
Should such people be kept unarmed and helpless, so that limousine
liberals can 'make a statement' by adding to the thousands of gun laws
already on the books?&quot;
