...the typical professional in this country unknowingly commits several federal crimes during a typical workday.
If Uncle Sam wants to get you, he can.
– An 11-year-old girl in Virginia, who saved a woodpecker from a cat, was hit with a fine for “transporting” a protected species.
– A fisherman who threw back some undersize fish he had caught was hauled into court and convicted of violating the antishredding clause of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act...
– A Maryland developer, James Wilson, was prosecuted and sentenced to prison for violating the Clean Water Act, when he improved a piece of land the Army Corps of Engineers claimed as “navigable water,” even though the nearest river was six miles away...
– An outdoorsman named Tom Lindsey and several others began rafting down Idaho’s Snake River at 7 a.m. instead of 9 a.m. and used gas stoves for cooking at their campsite. The feds hit Lindsey with several indictments...
– An Alaskan fisherman sold ten otters to a person he thought was an Alaska Native. Selling otters to non-Alaska Natives is a felony, and the fisherman, who was hardly rich, pleaded guilty to a felony.
– A chief engineer at a retirement home diverted backed-up sewage to a storm drain. Unbeknownst to him, the drain wasn’t connected to the city’s sewage system but to a stream that emptied into the Potomac River, a “protected” waterway. Result: a felony conviction and probation.
Bureaucrats and prosecutors love this criminalization binge...
...reform enjoys widespread support in the House, it’s meeting stiff resistance among several Senate Republicans...

What good is the Constitution and especially the Second Amendment if the serfs and slaves would use the weapons they have?
