NJ: Man Stabbed by Wife - Police Destroy Safes, Take his Guns

Registration is confiscation. Did not register *all* your guns? Find one unregistered, all are forfeit.

[Mr. K]

They were ALREADY “secure”

[Mr. K]

I hope he sues their asses AND WINS a ton of money - but mostly to set PRECEDENT

[x1stcav]

Why live in a pisshole like NJ?

Wait! Forget I said that.

I don’t want them leaving and polluting other parts of the country.

[x1stcav]

Now that I think about it, he should have gone back to rule #1:

Never, ever get the police involved.

He should’ve just snuffed her.

[Fungi]

Drove through it once, it smelled bad.

[Sherman Logan]

They also found a fair amount of gunpowder, claimed at 300 lbs in initial reports.

Which will make a dang big boom if mishandled.

[BitWielder1]

He was prepared, but not for this.

[neocon1984]

Illegal search and seizure, despite the state laws. The Constitution trumps state laws.

There was no probable cause. If this goes to the SCOTUS (as it is currently configured), the guy will win big time.

[Sir Napsalot]

The same “Nobody needs an AR-15 to shoot deer” crowd will justify nobody needs >200 firearms and thousands rounds of ammo.

The guy will be lucky to get any of his collections back.

[Sir Napsalot]

If the wife filed a domestic violence claim, the result would be the same.

[marktwain]

Could make a big boom if mishandled just right. It would have to be in a container that would pressurize the burn. Most gunpowder is sold in containers designed to allow it to burn rather than explode. It is classified as a “propellant” rather than an explosive.

I do not know exactly how it was contained. But it was likely about as dangerous as 10 five gallon cans of gasoline.

"Drove through it once, it smelled bad."

And they have the gall to charge you for the "privilege"!

[Cboldt]

It has to be contained so as to make pressure. Smokeless poweder in an unchambered round "cooks off" pretty slow, compared with the velocity of ignition when chambered.

I doubt he had 300 pounds in one container/place, too.

[Sherman Logan]

Right, of course.

[Cboldt]

-- But it was likely about as dangerous as 10 five gallon cans of gasoline. --

I'd say less dangerous than that 300# of gasoline. The gasoline can create a potentially explosive mixture with air, gunpowder can't do that.

[eyeamok]

This is and was nothing more than FELONY ARMED ROBBERY, The warrant will be Tossed, they know it, and they knew it when they got it. The ENTIRE Police Force belongs in PRISON, as well as the scumbag lawyer in a dress that signed the BOGUS WARRANT.

When we start making these people PAY for OWN MISDEEDS instead of the Taxpayers, it will change overnight.

[RightOnTheBorder]

IIRC my municipality does not have a cap on the amount of gunpowder I can store but if it is over 20lb’s it is required to be stored in a 1” thick wooden box (or similar container). Further I think my homeowner’s insurance only lets me have 20 lbs in my house.

If he violated some municple code on powder storage that should warrant a ticket and nothing more. There is no fate too horrible for the rotten gun grabbing scum in power in NJ.

[MaxMax]

Agreed, let those who voted in these laws be forced to smell their own shit.
Don't spread it out to the Constitutional states.

[WVNan]

Seems to me that folks should keep one registered gun in the home for protection and for confiscation. Case closed, one gun lost. Why would anybody keep that many guns in their home? That is asking for trouble.
