Too late. It's gone: You're (Probably) a Federal CriminalFederal law in particular now criminalizes entire categories of activities that the average person would never dream would land him in prison. This is an inevitable result of the fact that the criminal law is no longer restricted to punishing inherently wrongful conduct -- such as murder, rape, robbery, and the like.
Moreover, under these new laws, the government can often secure a conviction without having to prove that the person accused even intended to commit a bad act, historically a protection against wrongful conviction. Read the examples. Appalling.

Kevin, this sucks!! I'm not surprised, however. It could be used as a way to end gun ownership. If you can't get a firearm permit if you have served time, then they could just be lining people up, one at a time, and taking them down-then when there are enough people who don't own guns and the pro-gun lobby no longer has its support or its power, they could conceivably curtail the 2nd Amendment.
Or it could be just another way to get everyone into the system-kind of like the nonsensical census takers going to every front door with those GPS devices for no good reason. There are any number of nefarious reasons the government does what it does, and it is becoming more and more scary. It's like were just the last little brats in the world enjoying whatever little freedoms we still have and the government is just squeezing and squeezing until we succumb. New World Order and the whole bit. I, for one, am damned tired of all the secrecy and attempts to cram new legislation through the Congress without thoroughly educating the people on it or giving them a chance to vote.. I can see it getting really ugly in the future-I'm talking civil strife like this nation hasn't seen since the Civil War. People are getting fed up!

It seems to me that more and more citizens across the board either know that freedom and America is doomed with the corporate/government control that we now have - read, "fascism" as described by Mussolini or they're about to wake up!
Chilling!!

I wonder if we'll ever be free again?
