Second to last paragraph - they presume all gunowners are dangerous
Guess this means the SWAT teams will be busy.

But 12 people were arrested on suspicion of illegally owning assault weapons or grenades ... which of these things is not like the other...which of these things does not belong? yep, busy they will be. hide your dogs.

Eventually there will be unintended consequences from these ham fisted encroachments on liberty.

No such thing as an illegally owned gun........ An obvious typo. You should have said "No such thing as an illegal alien."
Then you'd be right with the Zeitgeist.

Were any of the weapons owned by BATF agents?

To: driftdiver
"Harris said 90 percent of the people who had guns seized were barred from owning weapons because of mental illness"
And what qualifies as "mental illness" such that 30 thousand people had cops show up at their doors demanding their guns? They obtained a Rx for anti-depressants? That sounds like a lot of civil committment orders if that's what they base it on. Or are Doctors turning in their patients? Is this why doctors in lib states are asking patients if they own guns?

You have to wonder just how California chooses to define “mental illness” for this purpose. And you might also wonder how many of the targeted individuals have ever committed a violent felony or are truly likely to do so... as compared with the recidivist criminal element that the state might otherwise choose to address... if it were not so dramatically overrepresented by other, “protected” classes of people.

My favorite line “Conduct the high-security operations needed to safely seize the guns from people” another excuse to use SWAT

Whatever you do, don’t EVER go to the doctor and complain of being ‘depressed’ or overly stressed out. That could be considered “mental illness”, and you may eventually find your name on some federal gun grabber list!

And its for reason such as this that I will not buy guns from any source other than individuals, cash only, no questions asked. As far as the Government is concerned I own zero guns and I intend to keep it that way no matter what “mandatory” registration schemes they put in place. I am lucky enough to live in West Virginia, which is a very pro-gun state but you never know what the future might bring.

This just in from Eric Holder:
An irrational belief that the 2nd Amendment to the US Constitution applies to the general public is now defined as a mental illness.

I believe “mental illness” means anyone who has ever admitted to being depressed or prescribed Xanax or similar drugs.
They are using this to make more and more people unable to own firearms.

And exactly how did Kalifornia know which houses to raid?
Yes, gun registration is a very good thing...for the Statists.
