The FDA could determine that tylenol or an energy drink could have side effects that could be detrimental to somebody's mental state. Then another agency looks up your med records and sees you took tylenol 10 years ago so they put you on the list of people that can't have a gun. If they already have that much power they will say they have to confiscate the guns you already have so they head to your house. All of this of course is dependent on the political ideology of the political class and which way the will of the public is going that year. It will be used and abused by those in power at every opportunity.The same with control of the media. You open the door for another form of media regulation and they will take full advantage to help their party or power. If you don't want news outlets to keep spreading the names of these murderers then when they start talking about it, turn the channel or cut the cord. Big news corporations only care about viewers and money so if they dont get either they will stop reporting it. The government will never be able to stop these kinds of things they damn sure won't be able to without taking liberties from every one of us.</blockquote>
