California Begins Confiscating Legally-Purchased Guns
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.

If it ever comes to an Aussie-style confiscation, I think that the people manning the buyback centers should be shot while they are working.

I have to believe that Hillary had some analysis done before she started talking gun control and figured that it wasn't going to hurt her among the groups that she thinks will vote for her.

"BUT, just how in detail would you deal with destroying our enemies? Details please, not puffs of smoke."

You start, today, by advocating for school vouchers, whereby a parent, any parent, can take their kids to the school of the parents choice, private, parochial, public.

What you will see, is private schools spring up almost overnight. And them, you can have YOUR kids taught what you want them to be taught.If the parent does not like what school A is teaching, they can move to school B.

Remember what Lenin said "Give me four years to teach the children and the seed I have sown will never be uprooted."

The Left is using their position in the public schools to indoctrinate our children against our beliefs.

Ask your kid, or a neighbors kid, if they were taught anything about the Constitution.

I hope he stays away, but I can promise you he's sticking things in his keester.

Train up a child in the way he should go,
And when he is old he will not depart from it.

I've lost all fear of any "confiscation". FedGov claims that they can't raid restaurants and construction worksites for illegal mexicons, how the hell are "they" going to do any better rounding up guns????

I'm on line with your sentiments.

Anyone attempting to confiscate firearms would have to be eliminated, followed by those who you know to support leftists.
