The people mentioned in the article all appear to be illegally possessing firearms. Do you think that felons or mentally ill people should be armed?

Do you think another gun grabbing law will prevent them from getting a weapon?

“The people mentioned in the article all appear to be illegally possessing firearms.”

From the article:

They had better luck in nearby Upland, where they seized three guns from the home of Lynette Phillips, 48, who’d been hospitalized for mental illness, and her husband, David. One gun was registered to her, two to him.

marktwain notes:

The husband had two legally registered guns. He was not a prohibited possesser, yet his guns were confiscated also, on the grounds that his wife could access them.

This is how slo-mo confiscation works. Overtime, you increase those groups who may not have guns (the wife disputes whether she fits the category given), decrease the types of guns that they can have, until the remnant are so decreased that they are of no political consequence.

We are seeing it happen before our eyes.

Registration is Confiscation

I don’t necessarily believe anything I read in traditional media because appearances can be deceiving particularly in this day of state controlled media in a state like CA. I was merely using this article as an example of the “mental” allegation by authorities—read a little history of tyrannical, dictatorial regimes(USSR, etal) and you will learn that the “mental” instability allegation has been used before to deal with enemies of the state.

Do you know for a fact what is reported here is the absolute truth and nothing but the truth?

If a felon has served his (or her) sentence, do you trust them with a knife? Baseball bat? Tire iron? Can of gasoline? Car? Rope?

Any of those can be used to kill.

Some in large numbers at one time.
