LAWMAKERS OFTEN LOOK AT THE LAW THEY ARE MAKEING IN ONE WAY ,FOR INSTANCE IF ONE MADMAN GOES ON A RAMPAGE WITH A SWORD THEY TRY TO COME UP WITH A LAW THAT MIGHT HAVE PREVENTED THAT ONE OCCURANCE. THEY NEVER TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION THAT IT WOULD NOT HAVE STOPPED THE MADMAN IF THE LAW WAS ALREADY ON THE BOOKS OR THAT THE CRIME HAD ONLY HAPPENED ONCE IN THE LAST 100 YEARS.
WITH GUN/ SWORD/ KNIFE/ ECT. CONTROL THERE ARE USUALLY GROUPS WHO WANT MORE POWER OVER THE PEOPLE AND USE LAWMAKERS AND PEOPLE WHO ARE UNREALISTIC TO PARADE ON CAMERA FOR THE MEDIA THAT THEY CONTROL. THESE LAWS ARE ALWAYS MADE BY THE FEW FOR CONTROL AND POWER OVER THE MAJORITY.
SO THE LAWMAKERS PASS A LAW THAT IS VAGUE AND OPEN TO MANY WAYS OF INTREPTATION, PAT EACH OTHER ON THE BACK AND FORGET ABOUT IT. PERHAPS THEY WERE REASONABLE PEOPLE AND DID NOT INTEND TO ENFORCE THEIR NEW LAW ON EVERYONE , GOOD LAW ABIDING CITIZEN'S NEED NOT BE BOTHERED. MANY SUCH LAWS REMAIN ON THE BOOKS AND NEVER CAUSE A PROBLEM UNTIL SOME GROUP OR GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEE OR LAWYER ,ECT. DECIDES TO USE IT TO MAKE A NAME FOR HIMSELF. THE MAKEING OF A NAME REQUIRES THAT YOU CAUSE SOMEONE (USUALLY GOOD CITIZENS) A PROBLEM THRU FINES, LAWSUITS, ARRESTS, CONFISCATION, ECT. THIS WILL ATTRACT THE PRESS AND THE PERSONS NAME BECOMES KNOWN AND IF HE WINS A LEGAL PRECIDENT IS SET AND THE GOOD PEOPLE LOSE ANOTHER FREEDOM AND PERHAPS BECAUSE IT CAN BE ENTREPRETED SEVERAL DIFFERENT WAYS MAY LOSE MORE THAN ONE FREEDOM PER CASE.
A LOCAL EXAMPLE IS A POLICE OFFICER FOUND A VAGUE LAW THAT HAD BEEN PASSED BUT NEVER ENFORCED SO HE TOOK IT UPON HIMSELF TO LAUNCH A PERSONAL CRUSADE. HIS ENTREPETATION OF THE LAW WAS THAT A DOG OR CAT COULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO BE LOOSE IN THE AUTOMOBILE AND HAD TO BE RESTRAINED. HE STARTED PULLING PEOPLE OVER AND GIVING TICKETS. WHEN HE HAD GIVEN ENOUGH TICKETS THE LOCAL NEWS PICKED IT UP AND AIRED IT SO NOW ALL THE POLICE HAVE TO ENFORCE THIS LAW. THE ONE GUY WHO STARTED IT STILL WRITES MOST OF THE TICKETS AS HE GOES TO THE PARKS WHERE PEOPLE COME TO WALK THEIR DOGS AND WAITS TO GIVE THEM TICKETS. HE HAS MADE A NAME FOR HIMSELF LOCALLY AND ENJOYS MAKEING PEOPLES AND DOGS LIFES A BIT MORE MISERABLE IN THE NAME OF SAFETY. I SUPPOSE SOON WE WILL BE REQUIRED TO BUY DOGGIE AND CAT CARSEATS AND STRAP THE ANIMALS IN WHEN TAKEING THEM IN AN AUTOMOBILE. I AM GLAD I HAVE A DOG AND NOT A CAT AS I SUSPECT TRYING TO STRAP IN A CAT WOULD BE DANGEROUS TO ME.
