Let's suppose that you've been thinking of buying a new pistol. Maybe you've always wanted a Sig or a H&K and now that you have a few shekels burning a hole in your pocket (since the recession is technically over), you buy one. Of course, if you're even a semi-serious shooter, the one or two magazines that come with the pistol are nowhere near enough. So you buy some more.
Well, that may be enough for the FBI's so-called "fusion centers" to tag you as a possible terrorist. So will being at the waterfront and taking a photo of a ferry. Are you a railroad buff? Possible terrorist. Like to take pictures of airplanes? Possible terrorist. Walking around with a camera might be enough to get yourself tagged as a suspicious person, especially if you aren't obviously of Scandinavian or Celtic origin. You might have dreams of becoming the next Ansel Adams, but the FBI might think you're a terrorist spy.
Do you feel safer?
