hmmm.... so why did the young man not just say no, come back with a warrant?? If they had used force, fine, I could see getting knickers in a knot. I wonder what would have been the reaction IF.... that young man had gone in and shot up a school, office or mall and the police had NOT done an investigation and politely asked about his reasons for such a collection.
It seems to me that owning weapons is a privilege just like driving or flying is. Drunk driving is a choice,as is flying without a license.. But it appears that drunk drivers are treated more harshly than those who are responsible for leaving a loaded gun around where a child can get at it. What is more I bet more children die in the US from guns than from auto accidents. So maybe, having one's privacy invaded legally every so often is not such a high price to pay.
We all know what the results of not NOTICING or not realizing when weapons,( guns or nuclear,) pvc's sewage or deadly virus strains not kept track of or coming up missing can be.
It is really quite frightening to know that so many people fear the government they elected so much as to allow paranoia to justify the need to keep such weapons hidden.
