Remember all those who denied that firearms confiscation as a result of New Yorks new gun laws was too insane to even consider?
That it was strictly in the realm of paranoid conspiracy theorists and the it cant happen here crowd?
Those were and remain some of the standard replies to anyone who even thought about the possibility, let alone gave voice to it, despite the fact that Gov Cuomo and numerous other officials made public comments about such a plan, as I discussed in my article Feinstein & Cuomo Admit Planning Australian Style Government Gun Buy Back .
Elected Officials, the media, various Gun Control Groups and their zealous forced disarmament supporters, even some firearms owners themselves all insisted it was to crazy to even consider.
Theres just one huge problem it is happening now in New York State!
It seems those that tried desperately to warn of such an insidious plot had hit the bullseye with their warnings after all.

No, don't throw the valium overboard!
Again, as in the above linked articles, your article is chock full of “apparantly” and “likely” while nobody authoritative has offered anything definitive.
the attorney indicates why in the accompanying news article on a thread i started here http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3006374/posts
“No, don’t throw the valium overboard!”
My “friend” has a naughty RN wife who has a whole drawer full of meds that should have been thrown out long ago and that is where the unused valium resides!
Ok... So a lawyer for a law firm says he has a client that is currently under a confiscation order isn’t good enough for you. He mentions his firm is currently handling 2 such cases.
But this isn’t good enough for you.
Not sure what you are looking for as “definitive”.
