Criminalizing the Tool, Not the User and the Use
Via Lawmeme: “What Federal Gun Control Can Teach Us About the DMCA’s Anti-trafficking Provisions.”
I’ll need to read this one soon. As I’ve said before, I’ve always been a little skeptical of this analogy. For one thing, guns have that whole 2nd Amendment backing them up – kinda complicates the situation. Also, it doesn’t look like he examines other similar bans, like prohibitions on drug paraphernalia, burglary tools, and wiretapping equipment. I wonder why he focused on guns only.
