Adopting the Biden Administration's argument, critics warn, “would be anathema to the Fourth Amendment” and would “grant police a blank check to intrude upon the home.”

This is bad folks. This will end warrants as they currently exist.

      A correction: he initially refused the psych evaluation, but relented after the cops lied and said they wouldn't take his guns. Then the cops told his wife he'd consented to their seizure and she led them to his others in addition to the pistol.

      We have long lived in a police state. Any limits on police power are illusory and exist only because they haven't yet been tested. The courts have consistently upheld the absolute authority of the police to do anything without consequence.

      Edit: To elaborate just a bit more, if they can literally send a robot to bomb your house for no reason, without consequence, why tf would anyone think they would draw the line at taking your guns?

      Oh yeah, I mean getting a warrant is well and good, but what if there's an safety or health concern? Surely our highly trained police forces posses the judgment necessary to only bypass due process when absolutely necessary. It's not like cops will just take the terms you say they need and tailor their reports accordingly when they take your shit. That's never happened before.

      “community caretaking”

      when you hear libs talk about "community" you should add "whites only" or "gated"
