Justin, under current American Law you can be snatched from your bed this very night at 5am on the orders of some faceless person in some government department. our family will be gagged. Unable to speak of it under penalty of the law. You can be imprisoned forever and waternoarded 180 times in a single month, lust like KSM because you fall under he exact same law if they call you an 'enemy combatant'.
You guys should really check this stuff out in yur own personal interest.
You know who else can terminate all my rights with no warning? A terrorist. With no orders or paperwork or vast prison system required. Just a bomb in a vehicle or building I happen to be walking past. And then... boom! No more rights. Can't speak freely because my jaw isn't attached to my skull any more. Can't freely assemble because my legs are nowhere to be found. Can't keep and bear arms because mine don't work any more. Can't tell the Army not to quarter troops in my house because I'm dead.
Of course, lots of other things can do that to me too. A drunk driver. A trigger-happy mugger. A virus, most likely one whose lineage has never ever passed through a government lab. A bolt of lightning. A careless moment the next time I'm doing some home wiring. The slight headache I've had since this morning, that could turn out to be an inoperable brain tumor.
Your scenario of a 5am government snatching is about number 1,375 on my list of terrible possible things to worry about. Much less worrisome than, for example, the magnificent tall trees in my back yard that could crush half my house and me with it, right in my bed or here at my desk, if blown over in the wrong direction by a wind storm.
Of all the things in the world that can disrupt your life, hurt you, or kill you, why does that particular one loom so large in your thinking? What do you believe the probability of it happening to you is, per year?
Ever heard of atherosclerosis? You should really check it out, in yur own personal interest.
