i am definately not a rules man and am never for any kind of bill or legislation where more rules will be imposed on me, but i have never been directly affected by the Patriot Act and have never meet anyone who has. Have you? any kind of new law that makes it either more expensive or difficult for me to own a gun would affect me directly and really piss me off.
Dewbie-
Under the patriot act, if you have in your possession a gallon can of gasoline, 3in1 oil, and certain brands of fertilizer, you can be labeled a terrorist by our government, stripped of your constitutional rights (including your guns), and shipped off to a location to be named later. Most people have these items in their garden/tool shed. Do you see how this is a problem? It's no different than if Hitler declared you an 'enemy of the fatherland' - you are toast.
The only thing I've seen driving the price of firearms up is the panic buying by people that are hysterical about laws that haven't been passed or enacted yet. And, if you were thinking about it, why would you spend money on firearms that you claim the government is going to take away from you anyway?
Don't listen to me though, I stuck a curtain hanger in an a.c. outlet as a child and it's completely ruined my ability to freak out.
