In the latter URL, the EFF's attorney says "The U.S. government for the

used for many purposes, including those that legitimate purchasers need
in order to exercise their fair use rights."=20

Surely this must be good news because in the name of consistency and
fairness one can expect the FBI to start arresting all the gun
