ARTICLE SNIPPET: “The Metropolitan Police Department yesterday moved cautiously into its program to ask to search homes in the District for illegal guns while civil rights activists knocked on doors and used bullhorns to keep residents from participating.”

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “Miss Hughes said the goal of the initiative is to seize guns and not to catch criminals. She said drugs found in homes will be seized, but residents will not be prosecuted. She said officers also would not report certain other issues such as housing violations.

“We want to make sure that residents are comfortable,” she said. “If they don’t want us to be there, we won’t be there.””

Thanks for those links Cindy. IMO, this is a dangerous slippery slope. Currently individuals can turn guns into LE if they choose to. But, for LE to be going door to door reminds me too much of Europe in the 1930’s.

Posts about gun confiscation really, really frighten me. I lived in Germany from 1945 to 1952 and saw what devastating results came from that.

So glad I live in the woods, where a gun is a requisite. (and I even had to use one last week.....little mountain lion problem)
