My uncle attended a firearms safety course here in Monroe County, NY approximately a month ago. After completing this, he called me and said the course was ok, but when the deputy speaker talked about armed citizens protecting their life and property, and after an incident has occurred and been reported, the local LEA will come in and "confiscate", not just the gun used, but EVERY weapon in the household, including all ammunitions, accessories, air guns, and their ammunitions, leaving a homeowner feeling bare and vulnerable.
I could agree with taking the "weapon(s) involved", but not in taking every firearm out of the home.
More troubling was when a Monroe County Sheriff Deputy Speaker tried convincing everyone in class that: "The legal ownership/possession of a gun is a privilege..." I just about went through the roof! Is the Bill of Rights now to be considered "The Bill of Privileges" in modern-day? I tried on two e-mail attempts to get in touch with this deputy, but there was never a return response. My guess is that he doesn't want to chance debating anything related to the 2nd Amendment because he knows what he says is not true. Still, the idea that cops could come into my house and take every weapon and round of ammunition over one incident still sounds troublesome.
