Stilly if we don't convict the rule of law suffers and fades.
If we do convict we risk a short term insurrectionist wave of violence.
Its a tough Gordian knot to untangle and a tough gun nut to crack.

If we risk conviction at least more people will read the Constitution and Federalist papers. On the other hand more people will read Mein Kampf or in the event of illiteracy listen on CDs.
