Light a fire for a man, and he'll be warm for a day, light a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life...
Discussion is an exchange of intelligence. Argument is an exchange of
ignorance. Ever found a liberal that you can have a discussion with?
"There is no news in the truth, and no truth in the news."

I am really hoping there is a court order so the police didn't act out of line, the courts did...furthermore I am really hoping that the person that her guns taken away is completely legal in every aspect. First so she can take legal action against the state and possibly go to the Supreme Court (eventually) and second I hope she is completely legal because of all the bad press gun owners always get...you know she will always be the crazy gun lady in her neighborhood now, no matter how right she is.
But seriously, this has got to stop. I would probably get fired for not carrying out what I believe is an illegal order (And by the way I don't have the full facts of why they were confiscated since I just read the article)
Turns out the guns are semi-autos according to some follow-up I've been doing on this.
There are some interesting court documents to be found re: this incident:

Also, the story is alive and well on gun blogs and other places. PD screwed the pooch, I think.

Don't wanna get shot by the police?

Well, I am glad to see she isn't taking their crap. Those guns all look good to me. Looks like a chief will soon be looking for a new job and the City of Lakewood will have to budget a payout to Francesca.
See, based on the guns that all appear to be legal and the fact that she isn't charged with anything other than some kind of suspicious activity, I don't think I could carry this out, I would get fired. I would rather get fired for not violating someone's Constitutional Rights than get fired for it. I think it would be a harder recovery if it was the other way around.
2nd Amendment violation. Federal Court would hand her a $100,000...
13 guns? Really? She's the least of the Govt worries.
