If these field agents really exist, we need for a local sheriff to grab one who is harassing people at a swap meet, and jail him.
who in their right mind is going to sell at their garage sale, a toy that is known to be dangerous (bad chinese paint or something) to another child.... from a parent to another parent. Come on, really. I highly doubt that a govt beaurocracy could possilby fan out to every garage and yard sale in America searching for “unapproved” toys.

They will have plenty of help — every neighborhood has an abundance of nosy do-gooders that are just drooling at the prospect of denouncing their evil neighbors....
The concept is called, in modern parlance, ‘force multipliers’, and was an essential element in the omnipresence of the Gestapo and the KGB...
In the old America, we’d stop importing and start producing good quality goods here as we once did.
In the new Amerika, we fine those who have to choose from what is provided to us - from China.
What a country!
Then, introduce your nosy neighbors to the joys of denunciation and social ostracism. Nobody likes a snitch.
The USA is a lot further down the slope to tyranny than most Americans are willing to believe.

Bullets contain lead. Lead is hazardous. Any gun that has ever fired a lead bullet is contaminated. Turn them in or have them confiscated.
Thank you.

Many people collect old toys - my brother has a nice collection of the old Fischer Price Little People - the ones we all played with when we were kids and no one died. I am a fanatic for old childrens' books.
This used to be a highly lucrative market--feeding the passions of collectors like myself. I once bought a retired library book for a quarter and sold it on ebay for over $300. It was a stunningly illustrated book - not something that will ever be made again.
Some people will pay a lot for a piece of their childhood. At least they used to. Now, "for the good of our children" who wouldn't be here if the stuff we used was so danged dangerous, that whole market, and the pleasure it brought people is gone.
Most Chinese don't have garages......and that is exactly what our benevolent leaders aspire for us as well
I just realized my mom committed an unspeakable crime when she gave away some of my old toys to some neighborhood kids. Gosh, I hope none of them died.
We just held a yard sale at my local church to fund missionary work. Where do I go to turn myself in?”
Good Lord! You are in trouble!!
You broke their picky little law and you used it to foster more religion!!!
Life sentence for you under NObama!
Meanwhile, not addressing the problem of contaminated, tainted imports. Nice!/sarc
They don't want you. They just want your assets and future earnings capacity.
Where are all the liberals that were whining about government infringement of civil liberties?
“Just pay your taxes and you’ll be fine. The crocodiles need to be pacified when food is scarce :) “
We have to pay for the 6,000.00 worth of lobster Obama had flown in to his rigged town hall meeting in Montana.
“They don’t want you. They just want your assets and future earnings capacity. “
Oh, no problem ;-)
“As much as I liked George Bush, I would of liked him much better if he used his VETO pen more.”
Bush is the reason everything is going down the toilet. Takes a brave man to admit he likes the man responsible for that.
