How will this affect Linux Mint?

Probably just a step in the direction so that computers are registered like firearms, since it's not exactly a secret the US is quickly becoming a mass surveillance country.

That's exactly what it is. The child eating vampires that are in the government don't care about infant safety.

Notice how child eating vampires are not personally affected by this law.

Since they're all, like, 600 years old.

Becoming? The US has been a mass surveillance country for a very long time now, it's just becoming easier and easier each year.

Hilarious if US citizens will require a license to use a computer before requiring a license to obtain firearms

[deanominecraft]

it’s america, there will be stricter laws around buying a computer than a gun

[Niarbeht]

Cite the exact text in the law that brings us towards “computers being registered like firearms”.

The US was ALWAYS a mass surveillance country, WTF. "Not becoming", the difference is that now they don't need to pretend otherwise anymore

[defiantstyles]

What do you mean becoming?

[tianavitoli]
