Are we spending billions on enforcing those laws?
Do we terrorize the public with military style raids on homes in order to
ensure that they adhere to those laws?
It appears that people obeyed those laws. But what exactly is your point, that if people actually break a law that we shouldn't enforce it? Why else would you care what its costing? If combating terrorists becomes too expensive should we stop? What are we spending to enforce laws on murder, robbery, speed limits, and parking? I thought your concern was with a violation of your rights, not with the cost, which is it?
What is "military style" vice "police style"? I haven't been terrorized by the DEA of late, so I'm not sure. I asked all my friends and neighbors and they haven't been terrorized by them either. Would you say these incidents of "terror" occur more often at the grocery store, places of worship, or meth labs?
Paranoia gone wild anyone?
