I was watching CNN and they are talking about the California wildfire. At one point a "former police chief" came on rummaging through burnt ruble looking for burnt up guns.
Is such practice legal? I imagine the families would be devastated that their entire house was burnt to the ground. They'll probably be more concerned with finding photos, and whatever important documents they can salvage. Finding their firearms would probably be on the bottom of the list. Would this be taking advantage of a situation and confiscating firearms when they otherwise can't? I thought this was resolved after the New Orleans Katrina disaster. Then again, the law says they can't take guns from citizens possessing it. In the case of the wildfire, the house was "abandoned" temporarily. They - the police and government - kept people out of their homes. I hope a lawsuit comes about with this. Edit: Okay I found the video: https://youtu.be/h7bYIGIqoYI?t=24m19s Starts a little after 24m and 19s. |

Let me get this straight. You think "big brother" purposely lit the wildfires in order to destroy guns?
|

Unauthorized and non-consensual search by a private citizen? I'd call him a looter.

OP,
Human lives have been lost, along with homes, pets, and wildlife. Surviving lives have been ruined and all you can think of is a gun control motive by LE? Seriously, dude. Give it a FUCKING rest. BTW: Where in the USA are you, Teener? |

Let's be crystal clear about this:
A "former police chief" looking through the rubble of people's burned houses for firearms is something we call a.... LOOTER. AND A THIEF. There's no other way to look at that. |

I heard there were over 400 persons missing....you'd think he could find more important things to do with his taxpayer funded time.

They are using a tragedy to confiscate firearms from people home. As I said, people are busy worrying about other things. Such as their destroyed homes, lost love ones, etc, etc. Don't be silly to think that California wouldn't use this time to extend their desire to confiscate firearms. |

If you don't believe me, just look up Hurricane Katrina. People had their homes destroyed, lives gone and the local police were going door to door to collect guns.

View Quote My friend's gun safe didn't survive - nothing to confiscate. ETA: was this confiscation at Markell's? The shop is on the same property as the owner's home. IIRC the owner is a retired CLEO. |

Uhhh sounds like another news expert or made up news.
He's looting and stealing firearms. |

Cite for the post Katrina law? My friend's gun safe didn't survive - nothing to confiscate. View Quote That was made after Katrina when police went door to door. Unfortunately I can't find the segment on cnn.com of the former police cheif walking around burnt houses collecting firearms. However, I know I saw it on cnn today and that is why I made this topic. I'm hoping someone else saw it as well. |

Keeping the streets safe by grabbing all the burnt guns conspiracy theory aside...
WTF is he doing going through other people's shit? Sounds like looting to me=shoot on sight. Can anyone in law enforcement explain what is going on? |

Why is it okay to talk/be outraged about the many new laws passed post Las Vegas (many of which are fictional "what ifs") but when someone talks about a potential breaking of law that you have to pass it off as a conspiracy theory? As I said on the original post, I saw this on CNN. Instead of pointing fingers perhaps you can turn on the TV yourself and see if the program is on? It appears no one else saw it. I know I saw the segment today and it even had the former chief proudly digging through rubble as if he uncovered something so dangerous despite the fire all around. Shouldn't that disgust you?

The firearms would not be in any useable condition after such a large fire.
Prolonged high temps are not good for steel. |

I'm a cop whose house is in the evacuation area. I was also evacuated during the Oroville Dam crisis last year (although I didn't leave). Local agencies put out mutual aid request to help secure evacuated neighborhoods. Guys from my department are working 24 hour shifts making sure shit isn't getting stolen. Not going door to door asking for 30 round mags or bullet buttons. People can mother-fuck California all they want for their gun laws and other leftist bullshit, but the emergency here is real, people are dying, missing and without houses, just like Texas and Florida (not comparing the magnitude, just the situations).
