I usually am a huge fan of Malkin, but I disagree with her here. The fact is the threat is not from the men in blue (i.e., local cops), but from the FEDERAL law enforcement agencies. I'll concede that under our current leadership, we might not see a Waco or Ruby Ridge, but the infrastructure is there for someone less scrupulous to abuse it.

Since they presented, passed and signed these laws, they can't be left off the hook. If their intentions were honorable, why did they pass the laws in the first instance?

Only people with a totalitarian mindset would even think of such draconian laws.
These people are not what they seem to be.
