And alot more should be. No matter how many good intentions there are when ANY law is written, the government will ALWAYS find a way to abuse the law.

No matter how many good intentions there are when ANY law is written, the government will ALWAYS find a way to abuse the law.Exactly -- for example, NYC's Sullivan gun control law in 1911 was passed in reaction to mayor William J. Gaynov being shot and seriously injured from a disgruntled former public employee, and popular novelist David Graham Philips being shot and killed on a New York City sidewalk.
Good intentions, terrible consequences.

Once again I have to ask, what will Hilliary do with this kind of power when she gets back in the White House? If the Ashcroft justice department can draft things like Patriot1 so it can be used for drug dealers, the liberals WILL use it to come after currently legal gun owners. And don't think for a second that another incarnation of a Reno justice department won't be scanning sites like FR for IP addresses so they can monitor the "trouble makers."
