The anti-Second Amendment sentiment spreading across America like cancer is reaching the same all-time ridiculous lows that our fearmongering government indoctrination centers, er, schools have been aiming for.

If there is one thing all of the police strikes have shown us lately, it’s that not all arrests are “absolutely necessary.”

They have literally admitted this. Makes sense when you consider that America has the largest prison population per capita far and away beyond any other country on the planet and most people are in there for non-violent crimes. California Prison Focus spells it out succinctly: “no other society in human history has imprisoned so many of its own citizens.” It’s ultimately about revenue generation. There’s a whole economy in this country based on enslaving a booming prison population who end up working for megacorporations for pennies, the same corporations who, not-so-coincidentally, bankroll the prison-industrial complex.

But more and more, the American police state is just getting ridiculously out-of-control on a cartoonish, Monty Python/Saturday Night Live level. New Jersey ranks right at the top of this security theater circus.

Take the case of 72-year-old retired schoolteacher Gordon VanGilder who is currently facing up to a decade in prison because he was caught with an unloaded, antique flintlock pistol from the mid-1700s in his car. It was found during a supposedly unrelated routine traffic stop.

“His attorney notes that VanGilder is facing the same felony charge for his unloaded mid-1700s firearm as he would be for a loaded .44 Magnum,” according to NRA News.
