Did you hear that Joe Biden’s Department of Justice wanted the Supreme Court to rule that police could search Americans’ homes for firearms — and confiscate them — without a warrant?
In the case of Caniglia vs. Strom, this issue was in play. Had SCOTUS ruled police could do that, your Second Amendment rights would have been in grave jeopardy.
In March, Biden’s DoJ filed a brief with the Supreme Court in this case. It said:
In its first amicus brief before the Supreme Court, the Department of Justice argued the actions taken by law enforcement to confiscate the petitioner’s firearms without a warrant were “reasonable.”
“The touchstone of the Fourth Amendment is reasonableness,” the DOJ’s brief stated. “For criminal investigations, this Court has generally incorporated the Warrant Clause into the Fourth Amendment’s overarching reasonableness requirement, but it has not generally done so for searches or seizures objectively premised on justifications other than the investigation of wrongdoing.”
In this case, the police officers’ actions were not reasonable. A man and his wife argued. At one point, the man placed one of his unloaded guns on the table and said “shoot me now and get it overwith.”
Following the argument, Caniglia’s wife called the non-emergency police line, leading to a visit from law enforcement. The police convinced Mr. Caniglia to go to the hospital for psychological evaluation, despite disagreeing that his behavior was “abnormal” or “agitated.”
While Mr. Caniglia was on his way to the hospital, his wife told the police that he had two pistols in the home, at which point the officers searched the home without a warrant; however, Mrs. Caniglia couldn’t provide legal consent because the police lied, telling her that Mr. Caniglia had consented to the seizure of his firearms.
So the police lied and took his guns with no warrant and no clear suspicion that he was even unstable. But they took his guns anyway.
The case was resolved at the Supreme Court Monday. The usually divided court was united, protecting the man’s rights 9-0. Justice Clarence Thomas wrote the unanimous opinion, “stating that law enforcement can execute ‘many civic tasks in modern society,’ but there is ‘not an open-ended license to perform them anywhere.’” “The very core of the Fourth Amendment,” Thomas wrote, is the “right of a man to retreat into his own home and there be free from unreasonable search and seizure.”
Justice Samuel Alito wrote a concurring opinion, noting that this case raises issues with so-called “red flag” laws which many on the left, including Joe Biden, support for the purpose of removing individuals’ firearms despite the fact they have committed no crime. Such laws may be subject to abuse with little or no recourse.
Joe Biden’s DoJ staked out a position far to the left of even the most reliable leftists on the United States Supreme Court. Whatever Biden is, he’s no moderate.

Biden/democrats plan to destroy the greatest Country the world has ever known. They are the ones who want to keep people in need. This way they will get their slaves back. That is ALL they care about. It is only themselves
biden you are by far the worst president ever you POS
I love when the truth comes to light Fakebook will not allow it to be shared what a bunch of scum
This unlawful attempt to seize a man’s guns just proves how far LEFT Joe Biden and his so-called Administration of Loons & Misfits have gone…..We the Legal, Patriotic, Constitution-loving, America-Loving Citizens must remove everyone of them from Office by any Legal Means Necessary before they completely destroy our ONCE great AMERICA and us!
Wow, and the DOJ ran by Garland, the moron who they wanted during BO’s lackluster term, is the one who submitted this. hahahahahahaha Sure am glad he never made it to the SC!
I think the communists know, that a terrible price will be paid in blood shed if certain homes were invaded, so they’re trying the incremental disintegration of the right by changing what the words mean, so as to make their illegal act…legal! All this to first cut down on the odds of getting shot through “special” interpretation or the changing of what words meant in 1791. They really, arrogantly think that no one can see through this. They fear the swift rise in gun purchases and those that are legally building their own, to the point that they’re trying to make building your own gun illegal by moving the goal post on how much completion constitutes an 80% receiver, or suppliers must reveal who’s getting these chunks of metal in the mail. Just for kicks, for those who don’t know: As a matter of fact, the firearms you can make on your own don’t even need to have serial numbers or markings of any kind. The applicable laws regarding making your own firearm are 18 U.S.C.
922(o) and (r), 26 U.S.C.5822, 27 CFR 478.39, 479.62 and 479.105.

MAKING YOUR OWN FIREARMS
You can in fact make your own firearms from the ground up – as
many as you want – and never have to deal with 4473s, dealers,
paperwork, or even serial numbers. Anyone can actually make any
firearm they want, providing that:
1. The person is not otherwise prohibited from owning a firearm
2. The firearm is not intended for sale (although it can be sold at a
later date)
3. The person is not making a machine gun, short barreled
shotgun, or any other NFA weapon.
First, the Attorney General Will Not ask for a search of privet homes without just cause. Those laws are already on the books.
The Suprema Court with it’s pro-gun benched of Conservative judges stacked by Mitch McConnell would never allow any search of privet homes for guns without “Probable Cause.”
If you read the 2nd Amendment, most gun owners who carry, licensed or not, are in violation of the Construction 2nd Amendment.
Try and reading the 2nd Amendment some time from start to finish.
It stipulates Why, Who and under What conditions that the public has the RIGHT to carry arms.
IF YOU want to carry Arm’s You Should conform to the 2nd Amendment and that means to become a ACTIVE member of a Legal Militia Organization.
IF you Own a weapon, YOU should be trained and competent in handling the Firearm. It would prevent Children and un-authorized persons from using it.
YOU should have the Firearm’s Insured for Loss, Theft, and Liability. If the Firearm is lost and or stolen and used in the commotion of a crime or accident, YOU ARE Responsible.
Q. Can you afford the Legal, Court Cost and Damages IF your firearm results to damage to property of Life.
DON’T let the Conservative/Fascist NRA/ Arms Industry Sails and Logiest convince you that You can IGNORE the 2nd Amendment.
“Who are the militia? They consist now of the whole people, except a few public officers. But I cannot say who will be the militia of the future day. If that paper on the table [the Constitution] gets no alteration, the militia of the future day may not consist of all classes, high and low, and rich and poor.” – George Mason
Try reading the 2nd amendment yourself from start to finish. It addresses two separate entities…militias and people…two thoughts separated by a comma. The definition of militia in 1791, was every able bodied male between the ages of 18 and 45 (interesting…no women, are they excluded from gun possession?) well regulated simply meant trained, nothing to do with rights. The definition of “people” in every other place in the constitution, means “individual” as in voting, 4th amendment security, jury trial, etc., etc., and must be that way in order for the constitution to remain “uniform.” Except, of course, unless you’re a communist who wants it to be changed to mean a collective group in the 2nd amendment, so you may argue that worn out attempt against an inherent right. The right to guns, by the way, preceded the constitutions guarantee by 297 years…from where did the right to gun possession come when we first landed on these shores? Can’t answer that can you? We the people and our sovereign states have all the rights, listed and unlisted (9th & 10th amendments) and the government only has those powers we the people have delegated to it. We have, at no time, ever granted the government the power to remove a right that the government had never had the power to grant to begin with. Try reading the Supreme Court Heller decision before spreading your socialist pabulum!
Wouldn’t that ruling also apply to these “Red Flag” laws?
Bet he has guns in his home and he IS A LUNATIC!
We ducked a bullet – this time!
I think, Goober on the Andy Griffith Show could run rings around “Boober” Biden.
It is unreal that they, are going to let Biden run this country into the ground.
The Biden Administration and the democrat run government have corrupted the DOJ, FBI and all federal law enforcement agencies to be their “Brown Shirts.”
