So.... Does this mean that a state can outlaw the ownership of assault rifles
merely by creating a bounty for neighbors who report their owners?

4. That will be next. Paying citizens to be informants could become the norm.

Like North Korea, China, Russia.

6. More like citizens being able to being charges of anti-trans discrimination

Which, come to think of it, would be a fantastic move if the TX law ultimately stands (SCOTUS denied an injunction, but it has not in any way been challenged in court yet).

Of course they'd still rule 5-4 that while it's ok to deputize citizens to force births, trans discrimination just isn't the same...but at least they'd have to say it out loud.

I support DU-grade Proggies alienating law enforcement people with frivolous reports.

Most of my coworkers are LEGAL immigrants. The government already knows about them, because they have Green Cards.

Now apply that "reasoning" to calls for reporting unvaccinated people, which probably has been suggested/supported right there on DU.

This reminds me of when those laws were passed to protect drivers from protestors, and leftists were like "derp, does this mean I can just run over abortion protestors?!?!?!".

Since when are bounties offered for lawful activities?
According to the Bible, "know" means "yes."

When Liberals don't like them.
“The national budget must be balanced. The public debt must be reduced; the arrogance of the authorities must be moderated and controlled. Payments to foreign governments must be reduced, if the nation doesn't want to go bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance.”

Didn't Obama have a website to report people who didn't worship him?  Didn't DeBlasio try setting up a hotline for reporting people who didn't wear masks?
