Right to Bear Arms? Gun grabbing sweeping the nation

Cherished family heirlooms were among the 21 firearms Michael Roberts surrendered to the Torrance Police Department in 2010, after his doctor filed a restraining order against him.

The court order was the result of a dispute Roberts had with a member of the doctor’s staff and, after Roberts pleaded no contest, the matter was resolved. Yet, even though he filed the proper Law Enforcement Gun Release paperwork on four separate occasions, obtained clearance from the California Department of Justice and had two court orders commanding the return of his guns, police refused to hand them over.

With the backing of the National Rifle Association and California Rifle and Pistol Association, Roberts filed a federal lawsuit in May 2014, over the $15,500 worth of firearms. In the end he got the money, but not the guns. The police had had them destroyed.

A right that is not exercised is a right forfeited. The day will come when the government will test our determination on this matter.

Destroyed ? Maybe not , most law enforcement stations offer the weapons on sale for their own. Also , they may disappear , who really knows ? The brotherhood knows!

They already are, called Jade Helm 15... That training is martial law training... and for you clowns, how do you know the difference between a real person being dragged away by military or some actor playing the role, after they tell you they are just training for 8 weeks in which they started 4 months early than they said??? and was supposed to end on sept 11.

The day the military shows up in my neighborhood to "drag away" anyone is the day their ranks get reduced.
I can't believe that more people are not extremely alarmed at the military practicing civil suppression in the United States!! Corralling citizens holding signs saying "We're Hungry! Or arresting the "trouble makers".
WHERE in the world are we going to send our troops to subdue the local civilian population? No where, that's where.
Well, there is ONE place where it could happen. What?? It CAN'T happen here? Fool!
That's what the Germans said, too. So did the Soviet citizens and the East Germans. Don't forget the Chinese, the Burmese (Myanmar) and the Cambodians.
Heck, it happened right here in America.
We just shot the hell out them and ran them out of our country.
Some ideas never go out of style.
Smart people are buying guns and ammo. Stupid ones are telling everyone "if you aren't doing anything wrong, don't worry".
FAMOUS last words of millions. MILLIONS.
Keep cheering.
