Wisconsin Gun Grab!

I’m getting sick of all these casual gun owners when the subject comes up about gun confiscations in the U.S.  The pejorative answer is always:  “It will never happen in America”.  Well, it has happened several times throughout American history.  Recently in New Orleans after hurricane Katrina, police went door to door confiscating firearms when the residents needed them the most.  While evil people were running all over the city, raping, murdering, and looting…the police were confiscating legally owned guns from law abiding people!

Well, it has happened right here in our own backyard.  Last Saturday a police officer was wounded by a gunshot in Oshkosh, WI.  During the search for the assailant, police went door-to-door in the area of the crime and confiscated firearms of area residents!  Officers promised that the firearms would be returned after they were tested forensically.  When an armed police officer shows up at your door and demands your own private legally owned property, that is called armed robbery!  I can’t believe this has happened so close to home.  What a great idea, steal everyone’s firearms while there is a criminal running around the area.

This obviously was a blatant disregard for the rights of the citizens of Oshkosh and apparently most of them did not understand their rights.  No one can search your property without a warrant.    Sadly, like what happened after Katrina, it wouldn’t surprise me if these people never get their guns back.
