More fuel for the anti-rights people.  I think this is a bad idea.

YaY!!!! 

More bad press.. just what I wanted for Yuletide..     You shouldn't have.. no, really.. you shouldn't have!

I like a certain amount of politics as theater as long as no one is getting hurt and gluing the doors shut or chanting slogans, or tossing condemns ain't hurting anyone.  And I'm all for the other point, the one that so many of the comments stressed, which is people who are on the receiving end of hate and violence have an absolute right - if not a duty - to protect themselves using any means necessary.  So, not all bad.
