Supreme Court rules warrantless home gun confiscation is unconstitutional in 9-0 vote

The Supreme Court ruled Monday that warrantless gun confiscation from Americans? homes is unconstitutional, voting unanimously on the side of a Rhode Island man whose firearms were taken by law enforcement without a warrant after his wife expressed concerns that he might hurt himself.

According to Caniglia v Strom, a lower court had previously determined that police confiscating the guns without a warrant fell under the Fourth Amendment?s ?community caretaking? exception, but a 9-0 vote from the nation?s top court struck down that ruling.

Supprised by the 9-0 vote

I'm surprised the Court actually UPHELD the Constitution.

This was not explicitly for the firearm but for any object seized without a warrant. The NSD on the court don't care that it was a firearm and surprisingly followed the Constitution. This was not a victory for gun rights as it could have just as easily been narcotics.
