Police May Confiscate Guns without Notice Starting January 1



We will find out in January 2016 what POTUS has and will do with his pen and phone.

Guilty until proven innocent. Another attack on the Constitution. Another reason that I am glad I don't live in California.

 

[EvilKidsMeal]

They may try, but then they may roll up on the one random psychopath and get more than they asked for.

The whole point of the proposed confiscation is to get guns out of the hands of someone who "is a danger to themself or OTHERS".

Hmmm randomly show up to try and take guns from someone who is suspected of being dangerous towards others? Idiots.

Standing by for the ending to this story.....

 

[halfmileharry]

WOW!
On the positive side...There's a whole lot of people that swore to uphold and defend the constitution. Let me see.....Oh yea, both foreign and domestic enemies.

 

[churchmouse]

This is another sideways attempt at grabbing up our guns.
Why do we have to be at war with the ruling class.

 

[Expat]

I think we can all agree there is no chance of misuse by the government with such powers.

I hope they are careful grabbing my guns. They might be hot. Guns is dangerous ya knows.

Yes sir.
This sets up the anti's with more PC powers. Point a finger, tell some lies, stand back and watch.

Yup, people deemed mentally dangerous enough to not own weapons reacting to LE showing up unannounced to take their firearms? Glad I am not California LE.

You know some of the prime targets (to turn in) are going to be that "crazy uncle Mike, who has way too many guns and looks at Alex Jones' website all day". This has potential to end badly for a lot of people on the pointy end of enforcement. Maybe the SWAT teams needed something to do. . . .

Or, maybe nothing will happen.

No, it's going to happen. This gives them the chance to show off their "powers" and they're coming. They're starting at both coasts and headed inland.
Good Luck to them as they're going to need it.

I'd rather save this specific thread title, or a more pressing variant of it, for a true "hey, they're coming to your door now" situation.

While this article does raise concerns, it's not the "hill to die on" moment yet.

No, but it is an alarm clock telling you to put your pants on and get the coffee ready. It's time to wake up.

And that's fine, it's definitely a move in the wrong direction. But true confiscation isn't going to be led up to with a Breitbart news article. I dunno... I just don't see it being a slow process where people have plenty of warning.

Yet, I also don't see the country in such a bad shape wherein it would be a snap decision... I don't even know. The former does seem more likely... slow, where fewer people at a time care, until it's all gone. But... "confiscation" feels like a strong word here given the context. Californians need to get their **** together, regardless.

 

[T.Lex]

Wake me when Indiana starts adopting California-style gun laws.

At a certain level, I feel bad for Californians. And yet, not really.

I took that oath. It is an oath I will defend to my grave.

 

[pudly]

Taking the glass half-full point of view, I look at it as laying the groundwork for a good precedent-setting lawsuit on when a couple of unjust confiscations occur.

 

[Woobie]

The Oath does not say "until I ETS." Service obligations end, but the commitment is for life.

It won't be all at once. It would get out of hand quickly. It will go something like this:

Those suspected of being mentally ill.
Ever more strict criteria for criminals.
No more future sales.
No one over 75.
No one without a particular license with a training requirement.
Only veterans and LEO can own.
Only LEO can own.
No one can own a personal firearm.

All of these will be accompanied by crises making the restrictions common sense.

I can remember back to 1966. What starts in California ends up drifting to the rest of the country "because it worked so well for California". It starts out as something minor, then they grow a whole government agency to implemement it. The agency takes it from the sublime to the ridiculous, then the whole country is forced into the insanity.

What happens in the land of the fruits and nuts IS important to the future good of this country.

I thought there was a "due process" clause, somewhere, in something called the Constitution, and one cannot be deprived

of property, w/o due process .....
