[Gen.Blather]

The objective of excessive laws isn’t that we are compelled to comply, though the Left is happy if that’s the case. The objective is the ability to arrest you at any time for anything they darned well please.

A friend got arrested, arrested for burning his household garbage. Although he did not violate a law passed by elected legislators at any level, he was fined for violating a regulation. Did you know you could go to prison for catching too many fish? Or, the wrong size fish? Or, fish after a certain date? Prison. This isn’t a law, it’s a regulation. Do you know how many regulations there are requiring prison time? Nobody does. But estimates range into the thousands. Somebody said every American is now violating the law at least 15 minutes per day.

I think I’m violating about 15/min. If I keep it up, they’ll be violating me in no time. ;>}

“Did you really think we want those laws observed?" said Dr. Ferris. "We want them to be broken. You'd better get it straight that it's not a bunch of boy scouts you're up against... We're after power and we mean it... There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. Who wants a nation of law-abiding citizens? What's there in that for anyone? But just pass the kind of laws that can neither be observed nor enforced or objectively interpreted – and you create a nation of law-breakers – and then you cash in on guilt. Now that's the system, Mr. Reardon, that's the game, and once you understand it, you'll be much easier to deal with.” ― Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged

Is it time to start using the second amendment solution on the regulators?
