If you've been caught carrying prescription meds in a handy daily container, rather than in the "official" one, you're a drug felon. I have very little respect for most of the U.S. code anymore, and the way they're using it to whittle away our rights. After all, once you've made *everyone* a felon, then the Bill o' Rights need not apply anymore, right?
As was mentioned above, an argument with a girlfriend, especially one who flirts with the cop taking the report, can bar you from your rights, as would any number of other bureaucratically inflicted nonsense.
If you were feeling a little down one week, and mentioned it to your doctor... and he decided to go ahead and record your "clinical depression", then, pow. No guns, no airplanes... and no telling what else they won't let you do. If you drive for a living, your DOT physical may also be voided until further review.
I think what the real goal is, is to try to herd us into the victicrat mindset, while disarming those who may have something negative to say about it. No tinfoil hat conspiracy theory here, though. Just the way power hungry jerks operate.
And, yeah... of course violent felons will always obey the law, won't they?
