I am worried about ordinary citizens perhaps being too intimidated to report suspicious activity for fear of being sued, if that provision is removed.( Didn't that photo shop clerk hesitate to report what he found, for fear of being called 'racist'?) It may seem strange to suggest people would fear being sued more than being killed-but the former seems more likely to actually happen, to many people, and there are so many lawsuit horror stories. I hope enough pressure is put on to prevent the provision's stripping, which is why I am posting this and the numbers. If anyone has better numbers-eg, individual offices or FAX numbers, please post them.

Will check back in an hour or so.

I also fear, people being harassed and intimidated just because somebody has a grudge against you. That's one tightrope walk on a slippery slope....definitely a tough nut to crack legislatively.

“citizens perhaps being too intimidated to report suspicious activity for fear of being sued”

which was the whole point of the “flying imams” stunt.
