I cannot vouch for California, but here in the "Cabbage Patch State" the Victoria Police pose a significant threat to the lawful private ownership of firearms. A few years ago the Victorian "Registrar of Firearms" was quoted in the daily papers here saying "every firearms handed in is to the betterment of society"
I note that the fellow who had his arms confiscated recieved no receipt for those arms? Surely that presents significant evidence of something amiss with whole situation.
If the guns were mine, I would be taking all possible legal action to ensure their safe return, I would also be seeking compensation for the emotional trauma, and, if their had been wrong doing on the part of the officer who initiated the whole sorry saga, I would be demanding his removal from his employment.
With regard to the current "war" on the private ownership of firearms our policy should be simply "You're either with us or against us, and we don't take prisoners!"
Just my opinion!
