Look, there's a serious problem related to having guns in the
hands of
those who shouldn't have them. We have laws that prohibit some
from
gun ownership that are not a violation of anyone's constitutional
rights. Nobody disagrees with that. Having fingerprints on
file
along with a cursory background check as a requirement for legal
gun
ownership does not violate anyone's constitutional rights. All
they do
is confirm the identity of the person and checks that there is no
lawful reason for the person not to have a gun.

Why should any law abiding citizen care if his telephone calls are
monitored and his mail read?

Why would a law abiding citizen complain about the cops searching
their house anytime they wanted and why would they need a right
against self incrimination or need guaranteed due process?
Those people who wrote the bill of rights must have been anarchists
who had an unreasonable fear of the government.

The government is always looking out for our best interests, I guess
we should throw out all of that dated stuff.

The self named "boat" guys can go first.

Isn't this the same government that just admitted targeting
individuals
because of their beliefs? Thought so... The fact is "law abiding
citizens" were targeted for having opposing thoughts period. So no,
even
as a "law abiding" citizen, I don't want the government to monitor my
email or phone calls... Especially when for all we know a phone order
to
"Chic Filet" could end up putting you on a "list"...
