I guess I don't see the problem with it. Guns are designed to kill or maim in self defense. It would seem the only reason to not want the prcedure done would be if the person were going to use to kill or maim in situations other than self defense. ???

To use an analogy, then, would there be a problem with the police just coming through and searching your home? I mean, if you're not doing anything illegal there then you shouldn't have a problem with them checking on you.

Would it be OK for the police to have a tap on your phone? I mean, you're not going to conspire to break any laws over the phoen, so it should be OK to tape your conversations, right?

How about putting an ignition interlock on all automobiles, that would allow the police to remotely disable the car? I mean, it'd be useful if it ever was stolen, right?

I think you get my drift here. ;-)

If I haven't done anything wrong, then why should I be bothered with them looking around? They wouldn't find anything illegal. I would however want them to give a reason for wanting to search.

I don't have a problem with this either as long as they give a good reason for it. I think they do sometimes ask to tap someone's phone when they think a perp may try to contact that person. Be ok with me.

It has more uses than that. It prevents someone from buying on time and then not making their payments. Don't make the payment, disable the vehicle. Sounds good to me. Makes reposession much easier. Business people need ways to protect themselves from the criminal elements in society to.

Oh I get it. You won't like my comments though and that's ok.
