will be dragged into the street, flogged with a flagrum, and tried for violation of their oath to the Constitution."
Illinois state Rep. Daniel Didech has proposed a law that would
require police to screen the social media accounts of potential gun
buyers.
If passed, this bill would allow police to disqualify an
individual from purchasing a gun and even revoke a currently valid
Firearm Owner’s Identification Card if any information on the social
media accounts was found alarming.
This being a Evil Party asshole from Illinois, 'alarming' will be defined as "Anything that lets me screw people who don't vote for me, give me money, and/or don't agree with me."
So flagrum, trial, and hanging.

This story put me in mind of a snippet from 1984:
BEGIN
He felt as though he were wandering in the forests of the sea bottom, lost in a monstrous world where he himself was the monster. He was alone. The past was dead, the future was unimaginable. What certainty had he that a single human creature now living was on his side? And what way of knowing that the dominion of the Party would not endure for ever? Like an answer, the three slogans on the white face of the Ministry of Truth came back to him:
WAR IS PEACE
FREEDOM IS SLAVERY
IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH
He took a twenty-five cent piece out of his pocket. There, too, in tiny clear lettering, the same slogans were inscribed, and on the other face of the coin the head of Big Brother. Even from the coin the eyes pursued you. On coins, on stamps, on the covers of books, on banners, on posters, and on the wrappings of a cigarette Packet — everywhere. Always the eyes watching you and the voice
enveloping you. Asleep or awake, working or eating, indoors or out of doors, in the bath or in bed — no escape. Nothing was your own except the few cubic centimetres inside your skull.
END
In a way, the Web and especially "social media" have brought results even Orwell's "telescreens" could not have equaled. And We the Unaware have collaborated in it from first to last.
I have commented and posted a great deal to both LinkedIn and a few other sites where my words could easily be taken for hate and what write is simply truth. Fact. And yet the feeble-minded and special snowflakes do not want to be confronted with such for it shatters their small mind. Makes then cry really. Should we be alarmed though at murder and rape and mass killings posted as dreams and desires on-line why yes I sure think so. Should we then have a Morals Police Force? A set of authorities with guns and badges to approve or deny your life and liberty if what you say offends them as hate speech? That is what exactly some folks want as it gives them power to silence and arrest or simply confront and kill those who oppose their authority. That's the real deal here = who has the power to silence and arrest and imprison or kill those opposed to their power.
