... "While Americans have the constitutional rights to keep and bear arms ...it is not just in California where guns are seized and destroyed illegally, attorneys charge."
"'This kind of below-the-radar bureaucratic gun confiscation is a growing Second Amendment and property rights violation problem, particularly in strict gun control states like California, New Jersey and Massachusetts,' said Alan Gottlieb, founder of the [SAF]. 'People can't afford to spend tens of thousands of dollars on legal fees to get back a $500 firearm.'"
"The [SAF]’s most recent case involves Rick Bailey ... whose entire collection of 28 firearms valued at $25,000 was seized by authorities because of an ongoing dispute with a neighbor." ... |

Nothing new here to gun owners in "unfriendly" states/municipalities. We've long known/endured the risk posed by any "neighbor conflict". These most often arise when "new complaints" move in bringing all their progressive/control propensities along. Any "conflict"- regardless of cause/initiation/outcome - generally results in the gun owner losing his guns. Which was the neighbor's objective from the outset. |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. — Alexis de Tocqueville |
