Are you a potential felon, but don't know it?

You, too?

Isn't it time that we stop our federal government from descending into tyranny?

Why don't you back up your thread by giving examples, vs. just linking to a blip about a book that tells us nothing?

The first link gives plenty of examples.

I am not about to plagiarize, so if you want to protect yourself, why don't you bother to click on the link and become educated?

That is another very good example.

Watch, the feds will seek to make statutory rape a federal crime in the near future.

Some local police departments would think that my exceeding the speed limit by 12 mph is a felony.

I didn't see any examples of "felonies" that I might commit. Maybe if I read thru the comments, but I don't care enough to do that past page 1. Sorry, I don't think I DO commit felonies but whatever, if I do so be it.

Very good link Harrier. Maybe some people here will think twice about restricting guns to convicted felons. They have rights after all when they're released and have served their time. Let's not let the government define who has the right to own weapons.
