I have to ask: what are you going to do? Shoot Facebook? Snipe iCloud?

Start blasting Google?

Pretty sure a rifle is in no way a useful tool for any sort of online privacy.

Not very private to put your name on a government list of gun owners.

That's not needed in my state.

I was suggesting the OP may live in a similar state, using mine as an example.

The assumption was: buying a gun = registration in a government database. That's not a valid assumption, so I provided a counter example.
