California Begins Confiscating Legally-Purchased Guns
By Travis Melvin on August 23, 2013
It is not surprising that the
first police raids to take legally-purchased firearms from citizens are in California.
Until recently, the state had the strictest gun control laws and the liberal
run state government has always looked unfavorably on the Second Amendment.
Earlier this year, the state
legislature expanded the list of what they call “prohibited persons” – people
who have legally registered a firearm but, for various reasons, are no longer
allowed their Second Amendment rights. These reasons were expanded to include
people who are behind on state taxes, did not pay toll fees in a “timely”
manner and a wide range of other minor misdemeanors or reported mental health
concerns.
In preparation for the crackdown,
the state authorized $24 million to hire additional officers to track down
20,000 people on the list. One person on this list was Joe Mendez.
A police officer came to the door
and lured Mendez out of his house with a story of a hit and run report. Once
outside, he had M16s pointed within inches of his face, was taken into custody
and had all weapons removed from his house.
It is important to remember that
these were legally- purchased and registered firearms. That gets to the other
issue about this initiative.
This case demonstrates what
registration lists really are. They are tools to allow police to confiscate
weapons. And, all they have to do in California
is come up with a reason you should be on the prohibited persons list; a list
that is continuously expanding in its scope and definition.
California gun owners beware: your firearms and rights are being
confiscated by your liberal politicians.
