A day in this country has long been emerging. One where the rights of the people are stepped on, NOT by the elected. But by the appointed.
In a clever way to control and ultimately conquer their 'subjects', the govt is using agencies and appointees whom have never been elected. Much less even scrutinized by the voting public.
In other words, the standard recourse of 'vote them out' is useless. Did you vote for anyone in the IRS? Anyone in the ATF? EPA? FDA? ITAR? TSA? etc etc....
Yet they create regulations with the apparent 'force of law'. Aswell as simply changing the language in existing laws, to become even more intrusive and over bearing.
Do you know what will happen?
Nothing. Because the vast majority of the population in this country are good people. And they want to obey the law.
As those laws grow in numbers, and make life even harder, people will adapt and continue to exist within those confines. Trying their best to be 'good little citizens'.
Its as if they are using the fact that you are a good person, against you. They know you will be obedient.
