Yeah, with all respect, that's just plain dumb. I'm going to go to an
extreme thought that hopefully doesn't start a tangential debate: Is there
an official ban in the Jewish communities on gun ownership? I'm just
thinking about the tool vs. how a tool is used. A gun can obviously be used
to break the commandment against murder. I'll stop there since I'm really
not trying to start yet another gun debate. But as those of us here know, a
computer is just another tool that must be used responsibly. And responsible
use is pretty easy, really.

Thanks. I was coming from the perspective of secular laws where a ban is
just the term for a law to proscribe something.
