I’m sure he plans on only letting people who register all their guns, pay an annual fee to be allowed to own them, (Like Canada) qualify for a “license”, and keep them “safe” in a Government controlled facility, you know, where Children and those with “mental” problems cannot get hold of them. (Conservatism will ten be deemed as a “mental” condition.)
Obama’s “Security Force” will also be charged with watching web sites like this, to identify those with “mental” problems and promptly get warrants, etc, to search and confiscate their firearms.
They will also ban ammunition sales and manufacture, except for government use.
Without having actually donned a tinfoil hat, I'd like to know if, under current law: 1) the records and postings of persons who have NOT threatened any person or agency of government with violence can be legally obtained by government officials at any level? and
2) could anything be done to further safeguard the security of those records than has been done to date? and
3) if those records (actually, ALL such records) could be located outside of the jurisdiction of the United States?
I know that I have done nothing illegal under current or past US, state or local laws, other than a few minor moving violations. I would not be happy to have records of my e-conversations with others either easily accessible or easily reached by government officials or agents on a "fishing expedition." I assume that other FReepers would feel the same.
Inquiring FReepers would like to know - mainly because the incoming President is such a cipher, and many of his supporters are so incredibly power-hungry and disrespectful of the rule of law, and we simply don't know how far they will go in attempting to make "society safe."
