The forced confiscation of Elian Gonzalez from Miami by federal agents is more evidence that we are witnessing police state actions.

The concern is also enhanced because of federal government tries to assure us that they used "great restraint" and only did it as a last resort.It is alarming that our elected state officials all across the country are not speaking out in outrage against these federal government police state actions. Instead, they seem to succumb to the federal propaganda spin that everyone should use "great restraint." We actually hear the excuse given that, like Waco and Ruby Ridge, the armed force was required because of the federal laws that were being broken. If his was true, why were there no arrests? Why was only Elian taken? Was Elian the one who was the supposed feared lawbreaker?

It is obvious that none of us are safe from the federal government, which should be a major wake-up call for all of use to use "great restraint" against the suspect federal government push for gun control.
