    Another win



    Police can't take guns not used in a crime. Been inventorying all the components.

    This case never should have happened period.

    Compensation is NOT an adequate trade off if the owner doesn't want to sell and who among us wants others to handle our guns?

      US Constitution:

      Fifth Amendment
      No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offence to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.

      Now what is "just compensation" -- if's fair value. A thing is worth what a willing buyer will offer and a willing seller accept. So the state has to keep bidding until the owners say, "Okay, we'll take it."

        But that doesn't happen. Usually the gun owner gets nothing.

          Under Democrat rule, the Constitution is meaningless.
