I keep explaining this to a liberal co-worker, but he keeps pointing out that the PATRIOT ACT effectively takes away rights delineated in the 4th Amendment.
I think many folks have long known the eventual goal by the anti-gun crowd is complete eradication of firearms. This is merely putting it on paper for all to see.
Not just, but his point is that the Bill of Rights obviously aren't sacred or changeable as previous action attacked the 4th Amendment. He's a really strange gun owner, for sure.
