NY bill 416

While intended for kung flu, but it looks like it's vague enough that they can us it for any health crisis.

It may be a little tin foil hat, but it wouldn't surprise me if this passed they might try and use it for the 'national health crisis' of guns.
A plan is just a list of things that doesn't happen.
Is defenestration possible through the overton window?

Always read a proposed bill/law with the worst possible intentions and implementation possible.
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

Samuel Adams

I heard about this and it sounded like the time they can hold you is not defined.  Just whenever some doctor decides. 

Even reading it with normal intentions it is scary.

The state has created room in jails for these public health violators...... by emptying prisons of convicted felons, emptying them in the name of public health.....

Never let a crisis go to waste
In other words never pass up an opportunity to grab more power

It is the essential function of any government to progressively limit freedoms.

You call them "lawmakers" and guess what?

They make laws.
WHATEVER YOUR DEFINITION OF "INFRINGE " IS, YOU SHOULDN'T BE DOING IT.
