It can't happen in America....

But you'd be wrong. It happened in the ussr/Russia, Germany, China, etc. it hasn't begun here, it's just continuing and growing since it began years ago.

History gives us all the examples but we just don't listen.

I usually read, listen and don't post but this twisted me up this morning. I'm a student of history and the writing is on the wall.

Nothing new here. Just further evidence of an out of control, tyrannical government. The National Defense Authorization act, along with the Patriot Act essentially put the constitution thru the paper shredder. I like this: "previously the law prohibited the center from storing data compilations on U.S. citizens unless they were suspected of terrorist activity"
The threshold for being a suspected terrorist is very low. For example, this post. The fact that I store food,water and ammo for emergencies. The US military can kick in my door and detain me indefinitely. No trial. And yes, they will be coming after our guns next. It's all that's left.
