Many of us predicted this, but I'll admit that it's happening sooner than even I expected. It would seem that Janet Napolitano hit the ground running at Homeland Security. From the article in the upstate NY paper:
West said a customer of his recently stocked up on .223-caliber rounds, a caliber often used in assault-style weapons. The customer bought 1,000 rounds a few months ago through a mail order company. Shortly after the purchase, he received a visit from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, whose interest was apparently piqued by a large-scale purchase of that caliber.
"His wife was home. He was at church," West said."
It seems as though DHS might be acting AS IF there were an Arsenal Law, although there isn't, and one would never pass Congress.
This COULD also be a case of someone who had already attracted DHS' attention by his associations, writings or other actions (most of which are probably legal, or he would have been charged, tried and sentenced by now).
My instructions to the dear wife have gone like this: "Honey, in case anyone ever comes around asking about my guns or ammo, advise them to come back with a search warrant based upon probable cause that I have broken a law. Tell them that you will be contacting me and I will be contacting my lawyer and an independent news film crew, which will arrive here before your crew gets back with the warrant. We fight cockroaches with sunshine around here."
Vigilance, people. Although our Constitution DOES NOT PROVIDE for a National Police Force with extra-Constitutional authority, it would seem that Madame Secretary has already instituted one.
You don't suppose that she was a Gauleiter in the Third Reich in an earlier incarnation, do you?
These excursions from our Constitutional way of life are best fought not with bullets, but with sunshine. Every report of this nature should make the front pages somewhere.
