?  This was, pretty much, the time frame I needed to search, Am I imagining things?   Could somebody look for various strings, like "Jim Bell", or "Assassination Politics", or "AP", etc?   Well, it's not like my existence was entirely deleted.

DID NOT GRANT, but in fact GUARANTEED the "right to keep and bear arms".   And AP is potentially just as much an "arm" as is guns, baseball bats, or knives.  And I would argue that AP is LESS abusable than common cutting and bludgeoning weapons.  Killing somebody  with a hammer does not require anybody else's assistance, let alone their "approval".   Or even knowledge  So anybody who thinks AP shouldn't be "allowed" should have to explain why such common weapons should be allowed, and yet not AP.   They will simply have no credible answer, at all.               Jim Bell

Well, my reaction is that "rich and evil guys" will probably become well-known  for those characteristics very soon, and everybody else on Earth would have a varying motivation to see him dead,  Zenaan won't tell us why "Mr. Rich an' Evil" won't become one of the first targets of AP.   We are left to guess,               Jim Bell
