On Wednesday, the U.S. Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in a case about whether law enforcement officers can enter people’s home and confiscate guns without a warrant, Forbes reported.
This comes in the wake of two mass shootings in the past eight days that have renewed the gun control debate, which has been relatively dormant throughout the coronavirus pandemic.
Caniglia v. Strom, Forbes senior contributor Nick Sibilla wrote, is a case that could have wide-ranging consequences for policing, due process, mental health, as well as the Fourth Amendment. Notably, as part of the case, the Biden administration and attorneys general from nine states are calling on the court to uphold warrantless gun confiscation.
The case all started with an elderly couple’s dispute over a coffee mug in August 2015.
To summarize the story, an argument led to the husband—Edward Caniglia—grabbing a handgun, putting it on the kitchen table, and telling his wife Kim: “Why don’t you just shoot me and get me out of my misery?” This led to more arguing and eventually to Mrs. Caniglia spending the night in a motel. She phoned her home the next day but got no answer, which prompted her to call the police in Cranston, Rhode Island and ask them to conduct a “well check” on her husband and to escort her home.
The police, however, did not conduct the check according to the books. They then insisted that Mr. Caniglia go to the hospital for an evaluation, though Mr. Caniglia refused, emphasizing that his mental health wasn’t their business. Mr. Caniglia agreed only after police promised—albeit falsely—they would not confiscate his guns while he was away.
Furthermore, officers then told Mrs. Caniglia that her husband had consented to the seizure, and she led them to the two handguns they owned, which were then seized. Despite Mr. Caniglia being immediately discharged from the hospital, police only gave back the firearms after he filed a civil rights case against them.
Significantly, when police confiscated the handguns, they did not allege it was to prevent imminent danger. Rather, they argued their actions were a manner of “community caretaking,” a slim exception to the warrant requirement in the Fourth Amendment of the Constitution.

There’d be very quickly 10m political prisons in the western states to take them in.
I have a gut feeling that Elon Musk will be teaming up with Trump as a VERY, VERY, silent and invisible partner Elon has most of the infrastructure in place already!! Elon is as fed up with the left as we are!!
It wouldn't surprise me.
When will Joe take time out to start writing “Mein Kampf”? TIme for him to do something original. The Gestapo did not only confiscate guns, they also executed gunowners in their front yards for all to see.

George Soros wants a civil war.
He’s using a severely diminishing man to get one.
“If a person is “unstable” commit him/her to a psychiatric hospital as allowed by long established laws on the books in all 50 states. Of course those committed under such a law have access to the courts.”
The soviets were famous for sending criminals to “mental hospitals”. They were not happy to have their fair share in the Soviet system, and therefore, mentally ill.
No need to take the time to write his own “Mein Kampf”, Joe will just plagiarize the book already written.
Oh I see no problem with that. /s x 10,000,000,000,000
Some are.
Bless them.
You gots to do what is right, for your family, your future, and the future of this country.
If you don't step up, that is ok, your family is important.
If you do step up, likely you will die, in the gutter, but it may be glorious.
Comes down to, "Are you willing?"
They [the Police] are coming to get the private [citizen owned] firearms. The only question remaining to be answered is when. People can deny it happening as long as they please.
Face reality. He [Biden] was just installed with the approval of the Republican Party to replace President Trump. Who was an advocate of the Right to Keep and Bear Arms. Why would they remove him from Office when they just stole an election to put him in Office?
Yes you do. It will be us. Shot in the back of the head in the camps.
They are not following the Constitution. If the Constitution had been followed, President Trump would be in the White House.
I’m sure their reasoning is “They helped us with the election. How could it possibly hurt to ask?”
Not in my region they won’t. They know if they try their homes won’t be there after their shift. There will just be a huge hole in the ground.
You’re talking about the man who served as VP under the ineligible Kenyanesian Usurper.
Who was cheated into office by both parties.
He will be removed when the ineligible Jamaican-Indian is ready.

Good luck finding a republican senator to bring charges or call for an investigation into his unconstitutional actions-
Obvious violation of the 4th not that it matters at this point.
