Authorities "Stealing" Guns

[JTHunter]

In yet another example of the "creeping incrementalism" we have endured for years, this show how the government can (and does) pull the rug out from under us by changing the law "after the fact". This way, they get to make what was legal, "illegal" so they can confiscate it.

CA Cops Take Guns From More Citizens
"Left coast" continues stealing guns from your fellow Americans

Long Beach, CA –The Long Beach Police Department (LBPA) released a statement earlier this month boasting that they’d taken 55 guns and arrested 30 citizens in a “Prohibited Possessor Operation.”

Citing the erroneous belief that such confiscation helps “in keeping Long Beach safe,” LBPD described the operation as “time-consuming,” and said they’d served 10 search warrants and 86 “probation searches” and “assisted with 42 DOJ searches.” (These latter are apparently warrant-less searches, which violate the Fourth Amendment.)

Registration = Confiscation.

The article only cites one example of the man who's wife checked herself in for treatment. What about all the others, felons in position? Parolees in position? When they use terms like "apparently warrant-less" that to me reads "assumption". Either it was or it wasn't. Anyone have a source with more detailed information? Given it's California anything is possible but the way the article is written it really doesn't provide any detail to support the "opinion" as stated by the author.
