Is the sniper rifle really necessary?! Unless you're planning on eliminating the cell phone user so they never discover the hack. Otherwise, wouldn't a stand-alone scope do just as well, and get you into a lot less trouble from law enforcement?
I think you're going to be in trouble from Homeland Security, but not necessarily the regular police. You have a right to bear arms. While you can carry a rifle without a license in plain sight downtown (barring municipal codes), it's illegal to have a handgun in a safe at your home unless you're licensed, registered, and have passed a background check.
But Homeland Security throws that out the window; any "terrorist activity", as they define it, is susceptible to their rules.
If the 2nd ammendment was rewritten today, with todays needs in mind (and not those 200+ years ago), there wouldn't be a 2nd ammendment. Or if there was, it would be two words. The military. Not a bunch of accountants running around with handguns, making "pow! pow!" sounds. Like they could force off an attack from anyone, apart form some other accountants. Guns don't make soldiers. Just because you have the means to kill a person, doesn't mean you would be able to. Shit. I have lots of frying pans and food at home, yet you wouldn't want me cooking for you:)
What in the heck are you talking about? What accountants are running around making "pow pow" sounds, and believing that this is effective?
(And, for the record, I think you're wrong. I believe that if the framers could have known what was being being done to the 2nd amendment (now and over the last 100 years or so), they'd have tried to clarify it a bit -- "...and when we say 'shall not be infringed', we mean it.")
The Bill of Rights was framed right after we Americans just removed a foreign government from our lands. In order to have a revolution - you need free speech to articulate your reasons, you need privacy and meeting to plan, and you need guns.
That the reason the Bill of Rights allows us to talk, meet and have guns.... just in case.

Yeah, I know it's off topic.
