For what?
HAM radio operators?
CB operators?
Someone with a noisy transmitter of one flavor or other?
Oh yeah, FCC wants to own the internet...
...gotta stomp out those thought crimes at those “undesirable websites” that “disrespect Obama” I guess?

That would be the actual, underlying reason for all of it.

Most Americans simply will not let their minds go there because it’s too horrifying to contemplate, even though all the evidence is right there in front of our faces.

Most amateur radio operators haven’t given a thought to the possibility that their hobby and all of their precious gear may be outlawed by this regime or one similar to it.

It’s not as if there’s no precedent.

Got comms? I do. KG7PCC clear.

Very rarely for licensed hams. But drug dealers sometimes use ham frequencies “on the sly.”

>> CB operators? <<

Occasionally, as when deliberate jamming or law violations (prostitution, drug trafficking, etc.) are involved.

>> Someone with a noisy transmitter of one flavor or other? <<

Yes, for example, operators of pirate FM stations in dangerous ghetto neighborhoods.
