Though drugs were not involved in the Blackwater shooting, the Justice Department is pondering the use of a law, passed at the height of the nation's crack epidemic, to prosecute the guards. The Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1988 law calls for 30-year prison terms for using machine guns to commit violent crimes of any kind, whether drug-related or not.So, depending on the circumstances, resistance to gun confiscation could result in drug charges?

We all have heard of "thought crimes" only this is a "could of" crime. That firearm "could of" been used in a drug crime, and because of that charges will be filed.
ReplyDeleteSo if you have a nice car thats fast, maybe soon police will arrest you and charge you for having that car which "could of " been used as a get away car in a crime. This way the cops can sell the car or even use it as an under cover car and enjoy it for themselves.
Who would have seen it coming, from "thought crimes" to "could of" crimes.
