With so many "crimes" now carrying more than a year in jail (as well as
forfieture of property), a legal system that lets prosecutors indict a
rock, draconian manditory sentence laws that insure a plea bargain on a
lesser charge, and a missguided "Lock em all up forever" mentality, who
will be left to own a gun? Or vote? Or get a good job? Or get a student
loan? We have a "crime problem" more due to everything being made
illegal and punishable, than from the effects of real crime. A 0.8 DUI
law
that, in many states also carries forfieture of your vehicle, costs you
all your rights. Possession of 1 marijuana cigarette costs you
all your rights. Hiring a prostitute costs you all your rights. Playing
poker in your livingroom costs you all your rights. Any sex other than
vaginal costs you all your rights. Here in Eugene Oregon dumping a pie
on the head of the Mayor (assault) costs you all your rights. Think
about it folks. This is our legal system in action. It is not only your
right to Keep and Arm Bears that you lose. It is the right to vote. It
is the loss of any chance at a good job. It is getting grants and
scholarships for education.

Yup, putting more gobblety-gook in the books. The remedy is repeal the
laws, rules and regulations that nullify the freedoms and rights given us
in the Constitution.
