Use for "all lawful means" is quite the grey area considering no one was arrested or fired, or any law updated, for what Snowden leaked. If the NSA does it, no one will arrest the NSA.

I laughed when I read “all lawful means.”

Those are almost the exact words that you’re supposed to use for a NFA form 1 / 4 when registering certain types of firearms / firearms parts that require a tax stamp, and additional scrutiny.

When I did my SBR registration, it was “all lawful purposes…” but fuck, close enough…
