Alabama, I am shocked that you have bought into the lies of the galactic conspiracy machine. Darth Maul died before the Empire was even formed, and we all know that the Jedi purge was simply an excuse to push a ban on assault lightsabers.

Sure, it's true that dismemberments from lightsabers dropped 99.94% annually following the purge, but then they passed that stupid Death Star Appropriation Bill that cranked up everyone's payroll taxes. I am personally pleased that the Emperor disbanded the Senate and passed a law requiring Wookiees to wear underpants.

That said, Chris Dodd is something of an equal-opportunity jerk when it comes to civil liberties. He played a huge role in pushing the Stop Internet Piracy Act, which has some parallels to gun control legislation in its "gotcha" clauses.
