PING!

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.

Well if SCOTUS says it, then we know it’s un-Constitutional.
Bunch of old buzzards with no respect for America.
G. Gordon Liddy had a way to deal with it.
We were warned...
"Red flag" laws are unnecessary as well as unconstitutional and are an obvious effort to infringe upon 2nd Amendment rights in yet *another* way.
Omfg this ought to be enough to remove his wrinkled a$$ from office.
Any president demanding blatant, obvious unconstitutional action should be removed from office right away.
Despot rulers of banana republics are typically must be removed by force.
moral of that story...never get involved between a love hate domestic situation.
You’re right. One weekend, 10 million Americans could drive to Washington, D.C. peacefully. We would protest outside of the White House. FBI would not be able to arrest all of us.
The outcome of this case will be the reason Dawse, Prescott & Revere saddle up their horses...
It will be for nothing this time around...
No one will show up at the bridge...
Takes organization and leadership. Something we do not have. Marxists are allowed to organize. Heritage American Patriots are not.
Just what Constituiton is the Biden Administration following?.....cause I don’t see that they are in any of their decisions....Why should they, they’re accountable to no one as it is.
I see dead people.
I wouldn’t let those lying officers caretaking after my cat in the backyard. Not good to lie under color of authority.
All Media Evacuated From White House As Joe Biden Stares Blankly into Camera & Asks What's Going On
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
+++++++++++++++
Does anyone believe warrantless searches and seizures will stop with guns?
Biden:
PING!
We all have a way to deal with it. And best not wait until it’s OUR house.
Blatently unconstitutional. Blatently!
“When, in the course of human events.....”
SCOTUS won’t even hear the case
We'll get banned immediately on social media (facebook and twitter) if we were to organize an event like this. That is why we need Gab, Parler and Trump's social network to emerge as viable alternatives. And they must not use AWS (Amazon Web Services).
