The fact that the government is perfectly willing to turn around and sell them to the general public after having confiscated them as ‘dangerous weapons that simply can’t be permitted in the hands of the general public’ when at the airport just goes to show that there is nothing fundamentally wrong with the objects or the people possessing them. The whole point of this unconstitutional exercise is to desensitize the sheep to the idea that the government can take your possessions any time they want and without any kind of warrant. A little erosion here, a little shaved off the edges there... Pretty soon the Bill of Rights will be thought of as a quaint idea that was nice in its time.
I may be willing to purchase and use or give away knives that were once ‘confiscated’ by our own government. But that in no way indicates my acceptance of the government practice of stealing them in the first place.
