This law, it seems to me, is tantamount to a law allowing robbed houseowners too smash the burglar's car (is they could find it). Now in a civilised society, not even the police is allowed too smash the burglar's car.
When downloading mp3s the computer and the P2P network is a vehicle, nor a company nor the police can destroy your property, and if a company would try, one would (in most countries) have a right too self defense..
Now the this could be interesting.. Script kiddies and corporate hackers fighting DoS wars
in short, firearms have never been more difficult to obtain than they are today. This is not opinion; it is verifiable, objective fact.
So by daring to point out that the emporer has no clothes, that the claims of "easy access to guns" are a farce and a fabrication, I'm "not serious about tackling the problem"?
In my country (Sweden) you cant (as a private person) buy a handsized firearm. Only hunting rifles are availible to the public and even for them you have to obtain a liscense through government approved "hunting schools" Alas we have no school shootings in sweden. Sure we are a small country, but we have an entire subculture based on copying the lifestyle described in rap albums, but kids cant get the weapons, therefore no gunfights.
Also don't forget, USAs crimerates are on level with the rest of the world and decreasing in every field except murder with firearm where USA exceed the world average by far.
Access to guns do have an impact on the level of shootings don't think anything else. I personally would never ever feel safe if I knew that every person I meet could be carrying a gun.

And while we're talking of vigilante justice....
