It didn't take me too long to adapt to what was once an easy grass cutting experience turned huge pain in the ass when the city put in my yard a stop sign and no parking signs. Sure I have to get out the weedeater now but I am flexible. What I awoke to this morning though is a whole different ball game. The newest addition to my yard is a sign saying "Drug And Weapons-Free School Zone." What the fuck is this shit? Did the authority having jurisdiction suddenly create a new designation of second-class citizen upon which the Bill of Rights is applied differently, rendering me somehow more responsible for violations of the law?
Now you won't find me sitting on my porch cleaning my shotgun while smoking a joint, but will I be prosectuted differently than my next door neighbor who is located outside of said new designated and regulated "zone," a neighbor who is one thousand times more likely to be found on his porch cleaning his shotgun while smoking a joint? I need to get to the bottom of this garbage. Why do I have the sneaking suspicion that my rights have suddenly been infringed? Can I no longer legally own guns because I can see a school from my window? Can I no longer smoke on my own property? Do I need a note from my doctor's office to make transactions at the local pharmacy? What gives?
Certainly I cannot argue with the motivation behind such an action but legally I think I just had it stuck in my bunghole. At the very least I now have yet another post that will require the use of the pushmower and trimmer in a location an acre from their storage point. This looks like yet another job for my favorite tool, the saws-all. I can't help but to think that the destruction of this sign carries a penalty at least equal to or greater than that which governs the removal of mattress tags?
