What is it about a computer that would warrant a ban? A computer by itself does nothing without a person behind it.

Have you been hiding under a rock with your ak 47?
Nobody is trying to restrict the 1st amendment?
Take some time to look at how the Bush administration has tried to restrict media (and public) access to government documents.
Nobody is trying to expand the power of the government under the 4th and 5th amendments?
Ask dk about search and seizure or warrantless wiretaps or eminent domain.
Your suggestion that you should have experience with guns in order to express an opinion on the 2nd amendment is just ignorant.
