I notice that there are no criminal penalties associated with this law. All they have is authority to sieze the equipment. So, should this pass, I guess they can legally take them if they can find them. And even if they find them the former "owner" suffers no penalty for holding the equipment.

Let's see, I see a violation of private property rights and expost facto laws. If the Supreme Court did its job, the worst outcome I could see if that henceforth (from the passage date) this act would come into effect, but no backdating allowed. At a minimum there needs to be grandfathering.

Sure am glad I don't own an ArmyNavy Surplus Store and that I'm not in the surplus business. Think of the size of the new bureacracy created by this stupid, needless program.
