How about folks like us, normal people, that obey the law.. In Wichita (and I have seen this happen personally) They come into your home for some reason, and you have any weaponsry around? They can just randomly decide to seize said weaponry as "evidence". Once they do that, you never see it again. it gets sold at police auction. Now, how many crimes do you think Cory will ever commit with his sword collection? Or me with my bows and bodice daggers? But under the patriot act, they can do just that. Legally come in with no warrent, and little or no reason. Technically, because of my connection to my mother, they have reason to watch me. After all, Mom could have told me somethign Top Secret that I could than tell some terrorist. I got that lecture often. How I am not allowed to talk to the press about Mom being what she was, cause I might accidentally betray top secret info...
