So, think about this: You're anchored somewhere quiet on your boat, just you
and the girlfriend, or maybe even your wife. You're about to administer a
beef injection down in the cabin when a boat pulls up and announces on its
loudspeaker "Come out of the cabin with your ID cards. You have 30 seconds."
You can't get dressed quick enough, so you are boarded, and both of you are
dragged, half naked, out of the cabin. The cabin is tossed by the
"authorities" you say you believe in. Meanwhile, your ID card is in your
pocket, but they toss the entire cabin anyway.

They search your girlfriend's purse and find she's carrying a handgun. They
see her permit. In Florida, you are not required to notify an officer that
you're carrying, but these guys are Feds, so because they think their ****
don't stink, they believe the law applies only to state or local cops. They
tell your girlfriend that because she forgot to inform them of the gun,
they're confiscating it, and her too. "The president's gonna be down this
way for a fund raiser next week. What did you have in mind with the gun,
lady?"

This is potentially what you are agreeing with. And if you think there
aren't enough antisocial types who'd gladly sign up, put on a uniform, and
do things like this to innocent citizens under the guise of "national
security", think again. You've already seen it done.


What tripe!
