Are Radios Next ?

People here in the US are up in arms about the possible seizure of guns in contravention of the 2nd Amendment to the US Constitution. One has to wonder...Can radios be far behind? It seems that it is already happening in Zimbabwe 

Short-wave radios banned in Zimbabwe

The Thursday February 21 edition of the Times newspaper reports the Zimbabwe Information Minister has said short-wave radios are illegal communications devices.

Reportedly hundreds of short-wave radios have been seized in house searches.

The Times story says that for the past eight years the opposition Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) has been distributing solar/ wind-up radios, manufactured in South Africa.
