I had to pinch myself. I thought I was reading a story about Nazi Gestapo Germany in the 1930’s. I think this government has gone out of control.

I think this government has gone out of control.
An understatement as it’s been that way for a long time and the people with their do-gooder resolutions are mostly to blame. A worthy example was the ‘well-meaning’ attempt to criminalize liquor which spawning many new areas of government enforcement control like ATF.
The history of ATF can be subsequently traced to the time of the revenuers or “revenoors"[5] and the Bureau of Prohibition, which was formed as a unit of the Bureau of Internal Revenue in 1920, was made an independent agency within the Treasury Department in 1927, was transferred to the Justice Department in 1930, and became, briefly, a subordinate division of the FBI in 1933.
The current drug prohibition has done the same with the creation of the DEA. Every new do-gooder program has increased govenment control over us and we are too blind to see and react to it.
