40 Signs That Your Country is No Longer Free
Let me point out a few of the "40 Signs" that I found pertinent and interesting:
...If you want to read the rest, you will just have to get the June issue of S.W.A.T., or read the discussion thread Clair used to write the article.
3. If you transport more cash than the government thinks you should have, even within the borders of the country, your money can be taken away from you permanently without any proof you've done anything wrong. (Civil asset forfeiture statutes and the topic of my very first post)
4. The government can take your private property and give it to more politically connected individuals and companies so they can build golf courses, casinos, hotels, and even parking lots. (U.S. Supreme Court: Kelo vs. New London)
...
20. Teachers, parents and responsible students are forbidden to defend children effectively against violent attack by madmen. (Various state and federal laws including Gun Free School Zones)
21. Children are suspended, and in some cases even face criminal charges, for bringing butter knives, G.I. Joe miniature rifles, aspirin or cough drops to school. (Dozens, if not hundreds, of cases around the nation.)
...
23. You can get five to 15-year "sentence enhancements" added to your punishment for completely non-violent crime because you owned a gun that was locked in a trunk or stashed in a glove compartment, or even because you're a former felon who picked up a single .22 cartridge while laying carpet (Project Exile, Project Safe Neighborhoods.)
