looking at the massive outcry over the Second Amendment controversy I ask myself....
is this a troller?
a troller may be low on the hacking ladder, but is quite disruptive. A troller delibrately makes messages to forums/newsgroups which are relatively on-subject but are meant to cause angry responses.

btw I personally am not a troller nor very much of a hacker.
