Then you just have to deal with the police state you created in order to
"prevent child abuse"; remember, about 2/3 of the Waco warrant was about
"child abuse", even though no evidence had been found by the local
authorities and it was entirely outside the BATF's jurisdiction.

Actually, I'd say they're at least as likely to push for a healthy, happy,
safe police state as the others are. Police states seem to be a healthy,
happy middle class phenomenon.
