Scenario: Granny buys a bottle of AN Carboload on eBay for use on her tomato plants. Gets her door kicked in 3 months later at 4am by the DEA because eBay/Paypal told them she was buying marijuana growing supplies on their site. Granny isn't growing so she doesn't get arrested... she just had to deal with 10 guys in ski masks and machine guns raiding her house in the dark who leave as quickly as they appeared with no paperwork. Does this sound like the America you want to live in?

When did it become so hard to get a warrant? More importantly, when did people stop demanding them?
Wow. I am glad some of you on here are actually articulate because your post is exactly how I feel after reading that! I just don't have the gift of articulation as you do. I think these things but I have to really concentrate to keypunch out a coherent post sometimes...anyway..one more thing..lets hope when these things become more apparent that some of these guys actually use the safety on their weapons and make sure they actually have the right house sometimes.
