They say they bagged up the guns on the law as EVIDENCE.

Evidence of WHAT?

They investigated him for YEARS, but do not even now know? That is puzzling.

Actually it’s ARBITRARY AUTHORITY, which is dictatorship.

Our house was once raided by the King County SWAT team. I was at work; my wife was in a cast after having foot surgery shortly before. She was held against the wall with guns pointed at her head while men heavily armed men ran around our house searching every nook and cranny. She was concerned about the safety of our three dogs... She was told that the officers had the “right” to shoot them.

They never showed her a search warrant or even ID. When they didn't find what they were looking for... they left without giving any apologies. I called the sheriffs office to find out what it was all about, but never received any coherent answer.

I was told that they were looking for a young man who had just gotten out of jail for having an underage girlfriend. The girl's dad called the police when he found that the two were planning on seeing each other. The young man had apparently given the authorities a phone number that had been associated with our address before we moved in. We bought the house from an elderly couple who had no association with the young man. We were told that the SWAT team raided our house based on a reverse directory search of a bogus phone number.

The entire episode illustrated to me that your rights can be trampled on. And even if you make a stink... nothing will be done about it. The responsible parties will not get in trouble. We didn't have any guns in the house at the time, but if we did I have often wondered if they would have been confiscated.
