Arresting Private Citizens Guns For Possible Misuse

This is just freaking nuts! In essence if the police in Connecticut suspect you might harm yourselves or others, absent any gun violations or any cause other than someone says they don’t like you, and they simply get a warrant and arrest your guns, before any crime is committed. Preventative Confistication of Guns!

Just in case, we’ll take your gun
State permits cops to seize firearms before crime is committed.

A new report to the Connecticut state legislature shows police have used the state’s unique gun seizure law to confiscate more than 1,700 firearms from citizens based on suspicion that the gun owners might harm themselves or others.

The state’s law permits police to seek a warrant for seizing a citizen’s guns based on suspicion of the gun owner’s intentions, before any act of violence or law-breaking is actually committed.

Shortly after the law was passed, Thompson Bosee, of Greenwich, Conn., had his guns and ammunition seized by police. Bosee told WND in 1999 that he suspects a neighbor, with whom he has had words regarding the neighbor’s driving on Bosee’s property, might have reported him.

“They had a warrant for my guns, they arrested my guns,” said Bosee. A member of both the NRA and the American Gunsmithing Association, Bosee said he works on his guns in his garage and is not ashamed of it.

Although Greenwich Police would not comment, they released a list of the guns and ammunition they seized from Bosee, including six handguns, three rifles, one shotgun, one submachine gun and 3,108 rounds of ammunition.


This is just nuts! No trial, no evidence that a crime was committed or that the person owning the guns had a record of violence with or without guns. Someone just says this guy scares me, he yelled at my dog, I think he’s crazy and might hurt someone. Forget presumption of innocence, get any complaint at all and they can take your guns.

I’ll bet Rob loves this one! Not!
