While the United states Armed Forces (private mercenaries) are stationed at 737 bases, in 130 nations around the world, defending “all freedom-loving people everywhere in the world,” El Paso County (colorado) statute enforcement officers arrest ten-year-old Gavin Carpenter for playing near “traffic” (a legal term for goods, services, or persons in commercial “transit”) with a toy Nerf gun.

       NOTE: Nerf guns shoot foam rubber bullets.
