And just try to re-purchase those firearms in California. Best of luck.
It's a short-sighted policy to say the least. Police who act in a lawless manner forfeit the protection of the law for themselves, the goodwill of the community, and create an enemy where they used to have a law-abiding citizen. Were it me and an officer needed assistance in front of me, I'd be turning my back on him afterwards. The Chief may not care but the officer on the street damn sure better care.
Spot on observation.
This and your comment thereafter are right on target. However, few are paying attention.
