Mel Gibson has been ordered to surrender multiple guns to the Los Angeles Police Department, it has been revealed.
According to a document obtained by TMZ entitled "Receipt for Property Taken Into Custody", Judge Scott Gordon forced the actor to turn in seven different firearms following a domestic violence claim by ex-girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva.
He is said to have been in possession of items including "a blue steel, semi-automatic 9 millimetre Glock handgun, a blue steel, semi-automatic 9 millimetre Beretta handgun, a blue steel, semi-automatic 12 gauge Benelli shotgun, a blue steel, lever action Winchester rifle" and several magazines and speed loaders for the weapons.

Wow. You can have your rights stripped based on a “claim”? And here I thought LA was still in America, where we have a guarantee of due process.
Silly me.
You can lose your gun rights in any state by being accused of DV.
There is a right to privacy in the Constitution? Really? Can you point me to the specific phrase?
“Our Constitutional rights do not apply to anything having to do with firearms or drugs.”
You mean the Second Amendment doesn’t protect my right to keep and shoot drugs? Or something like that?
Especially if you reload! I reloaded both .45ACP and .41 & .44Mag. It would have been a very bad thing to load up a .45 case with 6 grains of W/W296, or a .44Mag case with 29gr of W/W231! And both canisters looked identical, back when they packaged it in metal cans. Now the plastic containers have different colored labels, so mixing them up would be pretty hard to do.

I've yet to hear an accurate firearms description coming from a jounalist.
Perhaps the lady has more serious issues... i.e., gold-digger-i-tus..millennium style.
Huh? If you can't differentiate the 9mm x 19 and .45 Auto, you shouldn't own a handgun.

I think he meant something like this:
“We had to amend the Constitution to allow for the national prohibition of a substance, alcohol; considering that, what allows the federal government to nationally prohibit any other drug?”
“You can have your rights stripped based on a “claim”? And here I thought LA was still in America, where we have a guarantee of due process.”
Nope-aroons. We even have debtor’s prisons now, which must have the Founding Fathers spinning in their graves like jet rotors.
What if it’s dark?
Besides, Mel likes to hit the bottle sometimes.

Not to mention plastic.
You guys need to read less intenet lore, and get the facts straight by shooting what you're referencing. Only the frame is polymer. The lockwork, action, rails, and slide are steel.
Some folks ought to loosen their gunbelts a bit - cuts off vital bloodflow.

It’s written by a woman and you can bet with all the “blue Steel” before each and every gun, she is not known at the shooting range nor here on FR.
I didn’t say there was a right to privacy in the Constitution, I just said it was a massive violation of privacy. Also, if you think the only rights that matter are the ones in that document, I disagree. Finally, “other rights are reserved to the States, OR TO THE PEOPLE.” Medical records are confidential, police records, especially involving private property, should also be. Tell me what public purpose is served by identifying the makes and models of specific firearms. Should they report the serial numbers too, so all his guns are not only effectively registered by them, but also by all the members of the public, too?
“Domestic Violence” is just another avenue to disarming people for non-gun-related crimes.
And what she said he did was hearsay.
**but whatever happened to innocent until proven guilty?**
When it comes to allegations of domestic violence, there is no presumption of innocence. You are guilty until you prove otherwise.
Trust me on that one.
