Police in Osh Kosh, Wisconsin have started confiscating guns from citizens, going door to door and demanding people's firearms.
Apparently, there was a shooting of a police officer in Osh Kosh, and he was injured, so the police have decided to seize all guns from all residents to test them to see if they were the gun used in the shooting.
This is all going on without a clear warrant stating who's guns may be taken, and is clearly unconstitutional and just plain wrong. This is akin to the police taking away all of the cars in a neighborhood because someone's kid got hurt in a hit and run. They can't just take your private property and hold onto it because they think there's a chance it was used in a crime.
They need clear reasons to take someone's property and a warrant signed by a judge.
I personally hope the ACLU, the NRA, and the Gun Owners of America, along with the Cato Institute and other civil libertarians climb so far up the police chief's ass that he'll crap lawyer's business cards for a month.
