There is an increasing pattern of property rights being ignored by our government, under the guise of public safety and/or disaster response.

This article covers some recent events:

This could be a blessing. 1,000 people with loaded guns marching is a disaster waiting to happen. All it needs is one gun control nut to fire one round. The gun grabbers would win the argument. The time would be better spent teaching some friends how to shoot.

    Same here. However 1,000 people showing up at a rally are impossible to screen. The event is being organized by a drug addict. What could go wrong?

      they said they were prepared for the raid. Most people I know, who expect to get raided, don't find themselves caught with drugs on hand. what evidence do you have that he's an addict?

        He appears to be an addict because he expected the raid and still had drugs on hand.

        Did he really? Or are they just saying that in an attempt to try and justify the raid??

        I agree with you LS. Besides the 'shrooms, what were the other drugs? Why weren't they ID'ed? If you think you're going to be raided you won't have drugs in the house. It makes no sense.

        I also like the jump to "addict" just because the gov suggested drugs without naming the type of drug. Conditioned thinking. :(

        pirate was initially correct. They said they found psychedelic mushrooms.

        Are those addictive? Was he recently at a Dead Head concert. (And I admit I missed the mushroom part in the article...I must've skimmed too quickly. I thought she was making a shroom funny.) Either way....doesn't mean they're telling the truth. And everyone needs to stop having blind trust in whatever they say. How many times do they have to prove they can't be trusted at face value??) QUESTION BOLDLY!!

        Republicans would be championing his gun rights, not storming his apartment.
        
        You've got the wrong party in your sights.

        That's why I'm here...there are no references to any political party in the article, and he, in fact, was a Ron Paul supporter.
        
        The current administration is Democrat, and the jack boots that busted him answer to them...not the Republicans.
        
        Democrats wanted his gun(s), not the Republicans.

        I was referring to terrycan who said "addict". When I think if addictive drugs shrooms aren't what comes to mind....but I'm no addict or mushroom expert.

        This is exactly the kind of thing I was trying to describe in my comments on another thread (DOJ).
        
        Reasonable people who are so inundated by the constant corruption out of our government, that the first (and, honestly, most reasonable) comment is one of suspicion against the government.
        
        I have been suspicious of the government for a LONG time, but found I was in such a minority most of the time that I just kept my mouth shut. Now what I am finding is that as suspicious of an old curmudgeon as I am, I almost seem to sound like "the voice of reason" in these conversations.
        
        Having said that, I agree with LetsShrug -- I start off denying the truth of the government's statements until they are doubly proven true by third parties with no vested interest in the discussion.

        Ouch!
        
        Short answer: I don't remember one.
        
        Oh, wait, yes I do. The conspiracy theory about the Apollo missions not going to the moon were proven wrong when photos of the trash we left behind were taken from some telescope.

        The telescope was on a Hollywood set next to the stiff flag moon prop. The trash was left over from the "Don't be a litter bug" campaign of the 1970's. (I can't believe you BELIEVED that!!) LOL
        added later.... you know I'm joking, right??
