Police Seize Over 300 Guns from Rockford Home
State Line ^
Posted on 08/12/2010 11:06:13 AM PDT by crusadersoldier
Police say a 67 year-old man owns the home and the weapons. He is a legally registered gun owner.
"At the current time we're taking the firearms for safe keeping as evidence until we can further investigate this," says Deputy Chief Lindmark.
Neighbors say even though the weapons may be legal, they still pose a security threat to their neighborhood.
Woods' says, "Even if he's a registered gun owner or not, that just seems like its too many rifles."

Nice to know that the police can confiscate private property for "safe keeping" and that 2nd amendment rights have a quantity limit.

The weapons were legal... and so it begins.

Busybody (dim-marxist) neighbors are as much an enemy to personal freedom as any other type of traitor. No one can have what the collective deems too much for any one person.

Woods' says, "Even if he's a registered gun owner or not, that just seems like its too many rifles." Yes, because, as everyone knows, using multiple firearms at one time is an easy task to accomplish - This is nothing but a blatant attack on the 2nd Amendment.

Wow, that’s a load of nonsense.
I have thousands of books. Even though they are legal to own, is that maybe too many? Should the cops come check me out?

Maybe they can arrest my mother-in-law: She exercises her First Amendment too much.

My wife has what looks like 60 pairs of shoes, maybe the police would like to take them for “safe keeping” because that sure “seems like a lot” or shoes

He probably talks too much too, so they will tape shut his mouth for safe keeping.
Also, he goes to church too much, so they are taking his car for safe keeping.
Also he owns a house, so he may be practicing his property rights too much. better take it into safe keeping.

My husband and his brother are friends with an older gentleman who has probably 4 times the amount this man has. He has been a military collector for 60 years.
I’d hate to think someone could come and just confiscate them.

I’ll be curious to hear the backstory on this.
If he is not a felon and none of the weapons are in violation of NFA, he has a nice lawsuit against the police.
Of course they will prob say it was for “Safekeeping”.
To: crusadersoldier
The gun owner needs to file a lawsuit tomorrow.
