No, I'd say the biggest power grabs ever were the Patriot Act, Homeland Security, NFA, GCA '68, and NSA domestic spying (arguably under the first two), in that order. At least, within the last 100 years. Prior to that, well, there was that "little" power grab in 1861...
Which made the NSA domestic spying legal. Thank you sir.

And don't forget the NFA of '34.

Oh and the GCZ of '68. Little known fact...who do you think paid the lobbyist's for that? US gun manufacturers...that's just sad right there.


I put the NFA in there, as third. You know who else was totally for the GCA '68? The NRA. Now, how much money has that made them over the years for fighting many of the regulations and rules that they helped put in place?
