You have them. We want them.

The statement above is not targeting criminals, its targeting guns.

No, it appear to be targeting CW permit holders who lawfully carry guns.

I'm all for confiscating and doing ballistics check on guns taken from felons, but this is just wrong on so many levels.....

It would also seem that the word "people" is used interchangeably with "criminal."

Actually, it's the term "gun owner" that is being made interchangeable with "criminal." You think that's an accident?

I don't have a problem with it IF:
1. The govt uses their own ammo
2. Don't even think about returning my gun to me if you haven't cleaned it after shooting.

Number one will give me an excuse to carry a Webley-Fosbury or Broomhandle Mauser. If the cops use your ammo it is a violation of the Fifth Amendment:
"No person shall be ....deprived of ... property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation."

Number two will give me an excuse to stand there and supervise the cleaning. "No officer, I still see a little residue on that patch. Try another few passes with the brush and then another patch." I can't see cops cleaning guns for 15-20 minutes on every traffic stop, it would take up too much time.

"One of our main goals is to get people to leave their handguns behind," he said. "Those individuals would leave their guns at home in fear they would be obtained in a legal search of their automobile."

If fewer people carry guns, fewer violent crimes will happen, Hosemann said.

Sounds like an attempt at intimidating gun owners.

He also is hopeful pawn shop owners and gun show salesmen would allow the unit to test weapons and enter the information into the database.

The test results would be entered into a database linked to a national gun database.

Sounds like an attempt at an off-the-books gun registration scheme.

Overall, sounds like an attempt at a police state.
