re: #84 klys

The analogy is this-In both the cases of NSA work and guns we (Californians anyway) have a lot of gun safeguards. You can google how California is out front with NY for gun control. And I stipulate there is a lot of control at NSA thanks to good people and President Obama leading well.

Thing is so far so good and depending on responsible law abiding people works best at a short time scale. Over time things change. Less control or fewer responsible people in there. Politics could intrude at NSA. Texas gun law could become more common.

Depending on responsible people is not good enough. Returning to our traditional controls like sun setting the act is what I’d like to see. And universal registration, B/g’s etc. National.
Anyway not wanting to argue, just illustrate an analogy for thought. BBL
