When I originally started the thread "high-tech weaponry", it was intended as a distraction from the annoying, justifiably banned topic of "should guns be legal". I don't believe discussing "willyguns" (antimatter pistols) should count as a banned topic. Discussing whether willyguns should be *legal*, on the other hand, should earn you an instant unsubscription.
In my humble opinion.
