If you hack corporations you can very defintly "get a gun pointed at you". There are laws against hacking, even hacking corporations, and you can be convicted. You can also be sued.
Agreed. Swartz wasn't convicted of hacking the government. He was accused of hacking a private corporation. The fact that it was the government prosecuting it like they did shows how little difference there is between the targets.
