    Mr Fawkes' objectives were political in nature - and he was a lot more
    willing to hurt people for his beliefs than I am. :) There's also a fundamental
    mindset difference between the folks who try to set off barrels of gunpowder
    (broad, indiscriminate targetting) and the folks who collect and shoot long-range
    rifles (single point, highly discriminate targetting) I suspect if Guy Fawkes had
    chosen his tools better, he'd have been more successful. A 660-grain power of
    veto is something you can't help paying attention to.
