So much for "There's nothing to fear but fear itself." In my opinion, the measure of the consitutionality of this law or any other shouldn't be how it affects so-called "average everyday good old law-abiding 'Merican citizens," but how it affects the people who are the easiest to take advantage of. It seems to me that the spirit of these laws is that if you're of a questionable background, then it's not "presumed innocent until proven guilty," but more like "we aren't presuming jack shit anymore." I don't much care for that. Acceptance of these laws, in my opinion, requires that you trust your government way too much, because it provides the basis for some pretty broadbased powers - I just don't trust the guys with all the money and guns that much.
