California adopts nation's broadest gun seizure law

Unless we are actually going to talk about the new law I'm just going to close this.
I'm interested in ways to monkey wrench it.

I have zero interest in the non-shooting sports and don't much care for sports references, but I'm a firm believer in the "brush back".

If you want to fight this kind of thing, you need to make people dread using it for malicious purposes. Every time they do, they need to get hammered mercilessly both in civil court and in the court of public opinion. Nothing lawful should be off the table, including the sort of public opprobrium directed against Trump administration officials. Groups like the NRA and the Alliance Defending Freedom need to plan NOW for how to strike back against the perpetrators in multiple ways.

You make a false claim against somebody and your life should be OVER.
 
What are the other 14 laws?

Cheers for the ACLU, etc., but I wonder if any CA lawyers here can explain what this means, in practical terms.
 
I worry about this as i have a mother who hates guns (but she has one). She thinks i'm nuts for enjoying the shooting sports and believing in the 2nd amendnent, i live in illinois which is not a gun friendly state and i really could see her reporting me or anyone else as a danger just because she feels like it. I hope SCOTUS has a ruling on this before innocent gun owners everywhere are put in a bad situation.
 
And as an addendum, misfeasance or malfeasance on the part of police should be subject to strict liability.

If the cops go to the wrong house for ANY reason they should be personally liable for treble damages.

I can easily see the NYPD seizing somebody's collection of Borchardts on a transparently false accusation and putting evidence numbers on them with an engraving pen.

Not "fair"? Neither is kicking in the wrong door and possibly killing innocent people, ESPECIALLY potentially on the mere say so of a pathologically lying sociopath.

That's why I steadfastly refused to give my mother a power of attorney when I was in the Army. I could just see myself getting back from an overseas deployment and finding out I was no longer a gun owner.
 
But it sounds like rural California needs to go visit the governor at the capital. This cannot stand. And the citizens of California shouldn’t allow it to.
