Yeah... that is pretty much how my mind played that scenario out as well. That ownership becomes prima facia "probable cause" despite a lack of intent or action.

Doesn't fit the case in the above as both intent and action are there, but I could see this ruling used as amicus to futher twist it to give "law" enforcement an all to easily corruptable means to targeting an individual.

Most likely, I'm just being paranoid.

I think it only works if the mere ownership is a crime, such as is the case with child porn but not with most firearms. Watch out for those places that put your hunting rifle on the list of banned "assault weapons," though!

Most likely, I'm just being paranoid.

As wiser men have said, just 'cause you aren't paranoid doesn't mean that they aren't out to get you.
