[At-Large] FW: Withdraw the gun database

[John R. Levine]

I have to say, if I were working for an eastern European crime syndicate, 
and I wanted to make it as hard as possible for ISPs and law enforcement 
to track me down, these are exactly the kind of ridiculous hoops I would 
want to force people to jump through in WHOIS access.

R's,
John
