But you've got the have a reason to haul them away other than "they ain't one o' us." As I said, that simply moves your line of hypocrisy farther to one side rather than giving you the moral high ground.

A gentleman on another website knows the gun collector who was raided. This is not his first problem with the BATFE.

I think the overriding object is move society from the Lockean model of government by the consent of the governed to the Hobbes model government by right, although Hobbes espoused divine right while the modern movement would reject the "divine" part. To this end the social contract must be changed from one where the society is free and open, with a few laws to forbid damaging actions into one where society is essentially crushed and everything is automatically forbidden. If you want to do anything you ask permission first, sort like the children's game "Mother May I" used to be played. Fail to ask first, get slapped back. To the second quote, well you have to have some control mechanism. 50 years. The cynic says, "I'll be dead." The optimist says, "What about my grand-kids." I vote we at least try to look out for the kids. My parents and grandparents did it for me. A society is mature when a man plants trees where he knows that he will never sit in the shade.
