: If somebody is intent enough on a particular act, he will find a way.
: Robbers can break into Fort Knox, presidents can be assassinated.

What good is a little piece of $10 paper then???

: Gun control is like putting locks on your house. They won't stop the most
: committed criminal, but they will certainly slow down most of the 'casual'
: criminals enough to deter them. If somebody wants to break into your house
: badly enough, they will defeat even a $1,000,000 security system. Does
: this mean that you don't bother locking your house? You still have locks
: on your doors, because they will deter the trivial cases. Gun control laws
: have the same effect.

How do you think they are getting our guns now...breaking into our locked 
houses right...so Rock will make it easier by providing hackers with a 
grand database where they can do their shopping and we pay at $10 a gun.
