They (the Federal government) will figure out a way to control your property one way or another. Much of our liberty is an illusion, and we are able to practice it only because they have not had a desire to remove it...yet. Just like they determined the federal government could make that farmer stop growing wheat for his own use on his own property back then.
One of the classic cases of wrongdoing by our federal government that stands out in history.
They used "butterfly effect" logic to justify trampling the rights of the individual and blasphemed the sacred liberties our forefathers gave their lives for.
