Don't talk to those who are supposed to represent YOU!!...

...especially if you don't agree with them.

From the New York Post via the daily updates fro the NRA Institute for Legislative Action.

"An outspoken Long Island gun owner's home was raided by Nassau County detectives, who seized two dozen weapons he lawfully owns just one day after Rep. Carolyn McCarthy's office made a 911 call about him."

So, a constituent who disagrees with a position held by the person elected as his representative goes to said congressperson's office to voice opinion (exactly what is supposed to happen in a representative government) about a case of an illegal immigrant who was deported, only to be later found back in the U.S. and charged with attempted murder. The next morning, the police arrive at said citizen's home and proceed to confiscate two dozen LEGALLY OWNED firearms.

There is no mention of the citizen ever being charged with ANYTHING and no mention as to whether he was able to get HIS PRIVATE POSSESSIONS returned.

The reason for the raid?

"The office staff felt that [citizen]'s behavior was disruptive and threatening,"



So, all I have to do is get elected to congress and I get taxpayer funded strong-arm henchmen. Ah Socialism.

That sounds about right for the state of politics in the US.
