I have no problem with them temporarily taking the firearms based on the information in the article being 100% factual and not some made up pretext to enter her apartment in search of the guns. I.E an anti-gun neighbor complained or an ‘anonymous’ tip.
1. Reported missing
2. Police opened her apartment to check for her
3. They find a cache of guns and the owner is reported missing.
Police should take the guns for safety and security reasons ... since they did essentially break into with her being reported as missing.
However, they should have immediately returned the guns to her after checking on the legality. Now I know that may sound extreme to some, but the check simply has to be done once the firearms are in police custody and being readied to hand back to the owner. They have to make sure that they are not arming somebody who otherwise wouldn’t be entitled. Imagine the outcry that would ensue if they gave’em back without checking then discovered that she couldn’t legally own them — after she guns down few people.
Maybe the American people should start confiscating the cops firearms for our own safety? Both in their homes and at work!
How would that sound?
“...Imagine the outcry that would ensue if they gave’em back without checking then discovered that she couldn’t legally own them — after she guns down few people.”
You have a low opinion of our veterans, eh? I’m glad you don’t live in my neighborhood or I’d be inclined to ask you to leave! SHEEEESH
