Re: Hand over your weapons
Good points. Two other motivating factors that will entice police to embark on a gun collecting mission is overtime pay and they get to play SWAT member. Currently even in small town police departments AR 15s and other tactical weapons are the norm and in addition a lot of regular police officers have tactical equipment that was traditionally only offered to tactical units. That, couple with younger members looking for action, the idea that the majority of police will disobey an order to collect civil weapons doesn’t seem likely. There is a regulation banning the confiscation of arm during an emergency in the PA crime code 6107. However that law has some exceptions to it and I don’t know if it covers a federal declared emergency/martial law or could the Governor or AG override it with an executive order during an emergency.
One point I like to make on the Boston Marathon search is I understand this happened suddenly and the residents were unprepared to take up arms against the police. Most probably didn’t own any being that Boston is a liberal haven. However, after the fact no one appeared to protest /complain about the police searching tactics. It seems like liberals cherish the fourth amendment just as much as the 2nd amendment.
