Our unfettered legislatures are busy making EVERY citizen a criminal; effectively robbing the people of rights that cannot be removed because of our “pesky” Bill of Rights. For every new law passed, our freedom decreases & more of us become criminals as our previously legal behavior is now illegal.
Think about it. A felon may not own a gun, leaving him defenseless against both criminals & an oppressive government. A felon's home & property may be searched without a search warrant. A felon may not vote without a government approved pardon. Other restrictions limit the freedom of a felon.
So, what better way to create a nation of disenfranchised sub-citizens (slaves) than to pass so many laws that no citizen can even know what the laws are, much less avoid violating them?
Case in point: There are public beaches in the US where walking a dog is a FELONY, subject to heavy fines & imprisonment. Such a law is intended to protect bird & turtle nesting areas. Such a law punishes innocent people, ignorant of the restriction, with no malicious intent, having harmed nothing. Apparently, even the possibility of disturbing a nest is more important than the civil rights of citizens. Nonsense!
I believe the fatal flaw of our republic is an unfettered Congress combined with liberal, biased courts that will not enforce the Constitution. The result is creeping tyranny, ending in totalitarianism. Obamacare exemplifies this flaw. What's next?
.....And in revolt.

I know an ex-felon who cleaned up his act, petitioned the Court and had his felony removed from his record. Cost $1500.00 He now legally owns unregistered firearms.
