just another example of big brother trying to save us from ourselves. Not to get into the whole conspiracy theory, but a majority of the people who run the government want to keep the general populace as stupid as possible so that they can get away with doing whatever they want. Ever wonder why when the government needs to cut spending one of the first things that goes is school funding? If they can keep us stupid, fat, unarmed and lazy, then we won't question when they do "shady" things to enrich themselves or make power grabs. BD hit it about the guns, and it's only going to get worse. I could go on and on about this (and I'm not a conspiracy guy).
This could also be the heavy handed enforcement of a poorly written piece of legislation. Seems things have to be spelled out in explicit detail in order not to be misinterpreted and have unanticipated consequences. It's a shame that all government wants to do is make MORE laws, and not rescind some of the antiquated, stupid legislation that is already on the books.
