The PAITRIOT act, yes, America's weapon against Terrorism. But if it was really a weapon, what would it be, I wonder?

Personally, I think it's the Brass Knuckles becuase the gloves kinda came off following 9/11, so to speak.
While we're on the subject, I'm kinda split over the Paitriot Act: Part of me loves it, part of me hates it. The Part that Loves it Argues that it is fighting terrorism the way it should be fought: No holds barred, no mercy, AND NO CHANCES!!! It also slaps some sense into the people and shouts "GET A HOLD OF YOURSELF!!!" The Part that Hates it Argues that it treats the Constitution as just an insignificant piece of paper: People have gone to jail just for being afraid. Being afraid is natural human behaviour. Would you arrest someone for passing gas? No. |

... not a street melee weapon though, but sniper rifle with no scope comes to mind.

The thing about the Act is it's not one weapon, it's an arsenal. It changes many things on many levels and in many ways.
