"...You mean I can't fire my weapons in my own yard if the majority doesn't like the noise?..."
-
Yes, thats exactly what I mean.
- - -
"...I'm not sure how long it's been that way..."
-
Been that way for a long time, you really should get out more.
- - -
"...but it wasn't that way when this country was founded..."
-
Sure it was, its always been that way.
Anything the majority finds irritating enough is made illegal.
From raising livestock in town, to spitting on the sidewalk,
to dinking in public, to loud music, to having a noisy muffler,
the list goes on and on. When behavior gets obnoxious enough,
the people want something done about it.

It's nice that you being so honest. I dislike statism even though I was all for it on the save Terri threads (using unconstitutional power to save her life).

A radio station was discussing stupid laws still on the books. A good example of government gone amuck....You have to have your elephant on a leash when walking him down the street.
