“Just because you legally possess a gun in the sanctity of your locked home doesn't mean that we're not going to walk into that home and check to see if you're being responsible.”

Someone should remind Kamala of this quote.
“The poorest man may in his cottage bid defiance to all the forces of the Crown. It may be frail — its roof may shake — the wind may blow through it — the storm may enter — the rain may enter — but the King of England cannot enter — all his force dares not cross the threshold of the ruined tenement!”
William Pitt, 1st Earl of Chatham
Amendment IV
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.
The two kind of go together.
I guess they don’t even have to show ID any more, just break in like lobsterbacks.
You must remember what you’re dealing with. This is how they will come to your house. No search warrant!

Hey Democrats, that is a good way to get killed.
Your politics DO NOT override my rights!
Just because you think you can invade someone’s home, does not mean you will not be shot as an invader.
No problem. She is planning of doing away with the Constitution.
WOW, this will make such a great Trump campaign ad!
P
Might also notice what the Constitution says about gold & silver.
Or, the Second Amendment.
marxists view the US Constitution as an impediment
to their totalitarian ideology
When a democrat says they are NOT coming for your guns, rest assured they will when in power.
The lies we have been told over the years...by the democrats.
1962 We ONLY want to register handguns. Rifles will not be affected!
1964, We ONLY want to register ALL firearms, not ban them.
1968 We ONLY want to register all guns, and ban the import of foreign Saturday Night Specials, and 5-shot bolt action army surplus rifles! (they got the ban).
1970, We ONLY want to ban small American handguns. Rifles will not be affected!
1976 We ONLY want to ban ALL handguns! Rifles will not be affected!
1981, Actress Lee Grant on Good Morning America (ABC) screams...”THE NRA IS A RIFLE ORGANIZATION! THEY SHOULD GIVE UP THEIR HANDGUNS AND THEY CAN KEEP THEIR RIFLES!”
1984, they came for the rifles.
1989 George Bush Sr. bans import of “assault rifles”
1994 Clinton “bans” Assault rifles for ten years.
2004 calls for a ban on single shot .50 cal rifles.
2023 Biden: “We are going to ban assault rifles!”
If they can get any sort of a ban and make it stick, they will then use that to go after their original target, HANDGUNS. They are never satisfied.
1988,Josh Sugarmann, of the National Council to Ban Handguns tells how to ban rifles.
“Assault weapons’ menacing looks, coupled with the public’s confusion over
fully-automatic machine guns versus semi-automatic assault weapons
—anything that looks like a machine gun is assumed to be a machine
gun— can only increase the chance of public support for restrictions on
these weapons.”
– Josh Sugarmann
From 1976. NOW PAY ATTENTION!
Nelson T. ‘Pete’ Shields
Founder of Handgun Control, Inc.(Now the Brady Center)
“I’m convinced that we have to have federal legislation to build on. We’re going to have to take one step at a time, and the first step is necessarily — given the political realities — going to be very modest.
Of course, it’s true that politicians will then go home and say, ‘This is a great law. The problem is solved.’ And it’s also true that such statements will tend to defuse the gun-control issue for a time.
So then we’ll have to strengthen that law, and then again to strengthen that law, and maybe again and again. Right now, though, we’d be satisfied not with half a loaf but with a slice. Our ultimate goal — total control of handguns in the United States — is going to take time.
My estimate is from seven to ten years. The problem is to slow down the increasing number of handguns sold in this country. The second problem is to get them all registered. And the final problem is to make the possession of all handguns and all handgun ammunition — except for the military, policemen, licensed security guards, licensed sporting clubs, and licensed gun collectors — TOTALLY ILLEGAL.”
-Pete Shields, Chairman and founder, Handgun Control Inc., “A Reporter At Large: Handguns,” The New Yorker, July 26, 1976, 57-58
“Yes, I’m for an outright ban [on handguns].”(Now rifles added)
-Pete Shields, Chairman emeritus, Handgun Control, Inc., 60 Minutes interview
HCI, around 1984, suddenly made a grab for the semi-auto rifles and shotguns, and missed But they showed their hand. As a result all gun owners know we are always up against a stacked deck.
Gun owners now know that any time we negotiate with those who want to ban guns, we are up against a stacked deck.
Unfortunately courts have watered down the 4th Amendment to the point it is nearly toothless and Congress has failed to protect citizens against the tyranny of the courts.
Under the strict wording of the 4th amendment many of the routine searches in daily life are prohibited without a search warrant yet they occur every day. Examples: TSA searches of luggage and bodies, police searches of stopped motor vehicles, government requests for information on private citizens from social media companies, utilities, communications companies or other businesses.
Blanket search warrants are frequently issued by judges with little probably cause shown. Courts allow police to seize personal property not listed in warrants during a legal search if they perceive it might have been used in a crime. During search warrants police intentional damage personal property and carry off computers, filing cabinets, safes and other material that “might” be relevant and for which there has been no description in the warrant of the specific thing being seized. Hence Melania Trump’s lingerie drawer was fair game for the FBI to search at Mar a Lago.
Then there is the problem of civil asset forfeiture where the police seize personal property for public use without due process, and refuse to return it once the judicial process has run its course.
Essentially the courts have determined than any search an unelected judge authorizes is “reasonable” under the Constitution. It will not be long before the concept of “private” property will be eviscerated from our society. All property will belong to the state and its use be subject to the whim of bureaucrats and judges.
Of course someone raised in Canada doesn’t appreciate the Fourth Amendment.
Sic Semper Tyrannis
Is she going to direct federal agents to bust in on gangbangers homes in the inner cities?
“So how many of the rights enumerated in the Bill of Rights are we now considering relics of the 18th century at this point? Four? Five?”
In the present time all of them are being infringed on by the federal government daily. The left considers the entire Constitution to be immoral and invalid because slave holders were involved in its creation.
When the power to “interpret” the Constitution was seized by the Judiciary branch, without pushback from the Executive and Legislative branches, the nation started down the road to the Constitution’s demise. Today the courts, and the regulatory bureaucracy of the Executive branch, not only interpret the Constitution, they effectively amend it by decree. Hence the left marches from victory to victory without even considering going through the amendment process.
It’s the atf defn of ‘walking in’.
America is 100% dead if they steal the election, as appears likely.
Then what?
Yup, thinking the same thing.
