The Winter of Our Discontent

It was revealed last week that firefighters are being trained to not only keep an eye out for illegal materials in the course of their duties, but even to report back any expression of discontent with the government...

Unlike law enforcement officials, firemen can go onto private property without a warrant, not only while fighting fires but also for inspections.

I know the source turns out to be pinko Keith Olbermann, which raises an interesting question--how is it that the political left, which so distrusts the government, then turns around and embraces "gun control," giving that government a monopoly of power?
