No way!
Not sure about California confiscations but they did make certain semi-auto’s retroactively illegal like in CT. Enforcement and/or confiscation is left to local LEOs.
In New York, FOID’s are being revoked for adjudgement of mental illness (for some very flimsy reasons such as a single visit to a MH professional). Upon revocation the po-po show up & confiscate the citizen’s guns.
Since mental illness is now defined as objecting to the Obama agenda, expect this pretext to be invoked frequently.
The impasse in Connecticut will turn ugly soon. Reverence for the police died when Officer Friendly died of old age. Remember when a cop killer was the worst criminal in the world? That was because the cop on the beat really was your friend. He was far more likely to use his nightstick than his gun and he didn’t routinely tog up in combat gear with an AR-15 & ride into the neighborhood in an MRAP.
Today, the police are seen as armed enforcers of the will of the State. They search your car and ticket you & take your money. Anything you say to them can & will be used against you. A chilling prospect.
We are lectured, “Don’t judge all Muslims because of a few terrorists!”
Well, “Don’t criminalize all gun owners because of the criminal misuse of guns” seems to use the same logic. Doesn’t it?
Doesn’t it?
