Due Process? Not in CA…
You say “Government will never come and get your guns?” You say “We will fight them” Um, Where are you? Well, I seriously can’t blame anyone for not standing up for these guys, I mean they are mentally ill or have domestic abuse issues or a restraining order… huh?
California Seizes Guns as Owners Lose Right to Keep Arms
Wearing bulletproof vests and carrying 40-caliber Glock pistols, nine California Justice Department agents assembled outside a ranch-style house in a suburb east of Los Angeles. They were looking for a gun owner who’d recently spent two days in a mental hospital.
hey knocked on the door and asked to come in. About 45 minutes later, they came away peacefully with three firearms.
This is freedom? This is due process? Armed agents CONFISCATING your firearms based on what a judge in CA decides? No peer review, no jury.. Just a feel good political class who’ve decided THEY can see into the future and take your guns.
This particular case isn’t too troubling because the media says the guy was mentally unstable.. The same media we bash all the time for their biased reporting, but we truth them this time? Odd.
In CA its the beginning. We the firearm owners in this state are fighting a losing battle alone. IF the nation stood with us here and we were able to insert a bit of common sense to the issue and WIN the day HERE, the nation would be safe from this type of tyranny. But alas, we’ll just write CA off and say it won’t happen in my state… Um, when it goes FEDERAL it happens in ALL OF OUR STATES!.
CA is a target rich environment for tyrants. look at Sacramento, look at the standard of living here, the taxes, the unemployment, the crime rate, the gangs the entire state is headed into the shitter at warp speed. And the wonderful political elite are taking your right to protect yourself…
Come on San Andreas, shake the stupid out of this state!

Possession of a firearm by the mentally ill is regulated by both state and federal laws.
Federal Law
Under 18 U.S.C. § 922(d), it is unlawful for any person to sell or otherwise dispose of any firearm or ammunition to any person knowing or having reasonable cause to believe that such person “has been adjudicated as a mental defective or has been committed to any mental institution.”
Possession of a Firearm by the Mentally Ill
Yep Fred, I understand the law and I don’t want crazy fuckers having guns either. BUT and this is the real issue WHO is that decides if YOU are crazy? There’s judges out there who are letting pedophiles out of jail, judges who are further left than Obama and more anti-gun than Dianne Feinstein. And they are in charge of sending troopers to homes.
This path we’re on is a dangerous one. Its in its test stages here and let me tell you it’s a scary thing to witness.
The problem I have is simple. You can be denied your right to bear arms based on here-say and opinion of one robed individual or even a magistrate. You can have your guns taken PRIOR to your day in court. You can be tried IN THE MEDIA and the media is fully trustworthy right? Remember the post I made about a year ago. The guy was branded an extremist for possessing a “huge stockpile” of ammo and weapons… They raided his home, confiscated his shit and he’s never been found guilty of anything… TO THIS DAY!
Well, if anyone ever accuses you of being crazy I will speak for you man… 😈
Thanks Fred, We’ll make great Cellies…
This has been a Fornicalia law for some time. Which is why people who cry CRAZY WOLF don’t think of the unintended consequences.
In Fornicalia law, it has to do with Welfare & Institutions code 5150.
I ALWAYS asked, when on a 5150 call: who has guns, what are they, where are they? That was back in the 70s and 80s.
More recently, in the early 80s, domestic violence laws under 13700 PC made like mandates. We had cops, ourselves, who were convicted of domestic violence and were subsequently fired because they could no longer possess firearms. A cop who cannot utilize a firearm is useless. Again, people who didn’t think shit through and let emotions take over.
This stuff, particularly, isn’t quite so new.

BZ, yep, I understand it’s not new. But and this is the reason I posted my thoughts. As the law becomes more restrictive here, the scope of “Reasons” one will be labeled “Extremist” and a “Danger” will be broadened.
When you see the black armor show up at your neighbors door and you ask “What is going on?” the media will already have the reason. It will be out front of the question. IF you ask again, you will be spotlighted.
My problem isn’t the taking guns from felons or nuts. It’s who is deciding the “Nuts” There is NO PEER REVIEW. No Jury, just a judge or magistrate. For me this is concerning. ESPECIALLY in CA. Where based on your location you could be subject to a judge with severe anti-gun ideology and YOUR rights are his/hers to take without DUE PROCESS.
No one wants crazies having guns, but do you think this government is above having political opponents declared incompetent. How many people did the Soviet Union declare mentally unfit just because they were political dissedents? I use to think that could never happen here, but with this current regime, I would not put it past them. Look what Napalatano did awhile back. Declared tea party seniors citizens and returning vets as possible terrorists.
