I see that the case of Rhode Island citizen Edward Caniglia who had his home searched in 2015 without a warrant and his two lawfully owned firearms confiscated has reached the Supreme Court. I found the details of the case in the Rhode Island ACLU’s “friend of the court” brief (aclu.org) that they filed in support of Mr. Caniglia. What I am shocked about is that apparently the Biden Administration has also filed a brief but in support of the warrantless search and seizure and is asking the court to make this a precedent so that any American home can be entered, searched and lawfully owned firearms taken.

I know that we have attorneys who are members of this forum. I wonder if they could tell us if this is correct regarding the administration’s intentions?

The Law and Order certainly is swinging in a different and perverse direction.

We didn't see Trump attempting to infringe upon the 2nd Amendment by attempting to ban firearms and ammunition...

We didn't see Trump attempting to silence 1st Amendment political speech through censorship and sham impeachment trials...

We didn't see Trump supporting anti-4th Amendment illegal search and seizure of personal property...

We didn't see Trump violate the 14th Amendment and the Civil Rights Act by providing preferential treatment based upon race and gender, nor attempt to create new genders out of thin air.

Nor did we see Trump opening our southern border to unfettered illegal immigration.

What we are witnessing is the real insurrection, the overthrow of our Constitution and the rule of law. Brought to you by anti-gun Liberal Left Democrats. Who could've' saw this coming???

And now is when we put our money where your mouth is contribute to local state and national 2nd ammendment organizations.because we can make a difference.

There is just one reason, and one reason alone, that they want to outlaw and seize weapons THEY call "assault weapons" and that is that they don't want American citizens to be as well armed as those who would make us "subjects" rather than the citizens we are. They lie when they say we don't need them.... "Trust us, we're the government."

The living document is being strangled.

Agreed, but Janet Reno (and Biden, it seems) never paid any attention to that. People like her/them are not our "fellow Americans". They are enemies of freedom and independence.

The first American to resist may lose his/her life. Maybe some more. If so they will become martyrs, and we all know what happens to a cause in the wake of martyrdom. My mind is made up already. I am 69 years old, I've had a full and wonderful life, my family will be financially secure without me, and I do not fear death. I fear living in fear much more. My wife and I, my pastor and I, have discussed this. As I have said before, I believe that having your mind made up and having a plan is the only way to get through it when the wolf is at your door. It's very late to make a decision and create a mindset when you hear the howl. And, getting through it may not mean surviving physically. It may mean dying with honor, and not shame. But, there are things that are more important than life. Freedom and liberty are a couple that quickly come to mind.
