I've been thinking that one thing that might be effective against hackers is to give American citizens the legal right to bear cyber offense capabilities for defensive purposes. An objective to this would be to make it as expensive as possible for hackers by allowing victims of cyberattacks the right to "hack back" attacks. Yes this the global internet infrastructure we currently have might not be able to provide the bandwidth required, but it would ultimately be effective against hackers and deterring them as certain kinds of "offense for defense" attacks particularly ones designed to infect a hacker's machine at both the OS and BIOS/hardware level.

Oh. If that system is in that way, that would explain why no one in congress or the court system in particular the Supreme Court has really made such considerations of ruling that the 2nd amendment can be applicable in cyberspace. Of course, 2/3 of the states would have to convene a constitutional convention to ratify the additional language into the constitution prior to any interpretations being made by any of the justices.
How do you prevent cooking forums from being flooded with porn images or this community flooded with cooking recipe spam? Without online restrictions, I could write a bot to post the same image of a kitten, once every ten seconds.
I am taking more on a from of being able to take hackers and their systems offline as to the purpose of extending 2nd amendment rights into cyberspace.
There should also be restriction to prevent abuse of this right.
Agreed, however once you restrict free speech then you no longer have free speech.
That's where the 2nd Amendment comes in.
