Sonoma County Gun Confiscation/Testing

[Standing Wolf]

Um, doesn't the Fourth Amendment cover such things?

It used to.

 

[Bad Words]

If you're guilty, would you send your gun in for testing? If you're innocent, why do they want your gun?

NEVER VOLUNTEER ANYTHING TO COPS OUT FISHING

Got that, monkey boys?

They are not there to do you favors, they are there to see if they can pin some charges on you. If they figure out a way to do it, they will. Truth has nothing to with it. You slumber on your rights at your peril.

For example, if a cop asks you if he can search your trunk or search your car, you say "no, I do not want you to." If he has a legitimate reason, he can get a court order or he can just do it. If you give him the all clear, it's open season and you're on the menu.

I guess I'm in the minority, being a pro-freedom loving libertarian.

You've got another one living in Sonoma County as well!

I hope they Confiscate my ex. God, i'm so glad i'm outta that state and away from her to boot. Shakes my head

 

[cracked butt]

At least the cops in Kookifornia are asking the owners to voluntarily submit the guns and aren't evacuating the neighborhood and doing forced entries/confiscations as seen in Oshkosh, Wisconsin a month ago.

One more reason to not register firearms. I bet many people are afraid to refuse the search, and or get pushed into it.

Sigh...I was born in Sonoma County and I remember when it was "rural".So VERY glad I never returned after I left in 73 except for short visits and my mom's funeral...what a shame,it used to be a nice place.Still miss the sourdough bread sometimes...

Texas=

No State Income Tax
CCW is Shall Issue
We have enough of everything to leave the U.S. Behind and feel no pain.

Why NOT move?

According to the latest article on the subject, one of the gun owners that surrendered his gun for testing has ALREADY been given his guns back.


I thought once the police took your gun you can't get it back even if proven innocent?

One Bodega Bay man whose Marlin semiautomatic rifle and .45-caliber Model 1911 pistol were tested by detectives said he was asked if he owned a hand-loading device. He doesn't, and the weapons eventually were returned to him after they were cleaned, the man said.

"the weapons eventually were returned to him after they were cleaned, the man said."

After having been extensively fired for 'ballistic testing', no doubt.
