I thought bongs and glass pipes were perfectly legal, it's just the stuff you put in them that isn't.

I mean they sell them at all kinds of shops, so why the hell aren't the cops closing down these stores instead of breaking into people's homes?


Because randomly hitting family homes is far more terrifying to people than systematically going to stores.

You should see what they do to stores who sell raw milk... it's literally like a military raid... on hippies... who like drinking milk that's got bacteria in it.

Honestly, though, I think it's something much bigger - the TSA, Homeland Security, drones, NDAA, etc., etc. The USA is becoming a police state... in many ways, it's already there.

The only way it can fully become a "police state" is if they strip everyone of their 2nd amendment rights, so I'm not worried.

You mean like carry permits? Handgun bans? Waiting lists? Gun owner registers? Or the fact that the Government has proven that it will round up all the guns if "neccessary" (Hurricane Katrina).

Yeah, people can still have guns... but it's not treated like a right, it's very much a case of whether or not you can get the Government's permission. Sure, more places than not, they'll give it to you... but that's only going to get harder as time passes.

I don't know what good a rifle's going to do in most cases, anyway.

Also, read this: http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/02/07/us-usa-fbi-extremists-idUSTRE81600V20120207 notice the language. If you defy Government environmental regulations, you can be regarded as an "extremist" by the FBI.
