	Yes. And not because of some constitutional statist bullshit,
	but as a matter of natural rights.

	Actually, who says that you can't make D-I-Y missiles, chemical
	weapons and the like? You of course can, and so the rest of the
	article is bullshit.

	Now, the people who say that you can't are people who want you
	to be afraid of the kochs, and want you to believe that the
	government is bad, but the koch are worse, so you should thank
	the government from protecting you from the kochs after all.

	And funnily enough these people who claim to be against the
	koch are actually the kochs' best friends because the kochs
	couldn't do what they do if the government didn't back them.
