Get the wrong door

"As Richardson heads for the Covina home of Benjamin Barreto, a 56-year-old with three registered guns, he points out that the “prohibited” man had not been convicted of a crime. He has several infractions, including driving without a license. Barreto is on the list because a judge said he could not possess a gun."
 
So a "judge" says no rights for you without you having been convicted of any crime.
Seems like a clear violation of the constitution, but liberals don't care about that.

This is why we need to fight against these types of "common sense" laws because they WILL be used against everyone who is not a perfect servant of the liberal elitists and Marxists that infest our country.

Also goes to show that your local law enforcement rarely cares about if what they do is constitutional or not, once again, they couldn't care less.
 
The State of CA charges too much for DROS.. The surplus is going into APPS- History of Armed & Prohibited Persons System (APPS)

If you google CA DOJ APPS you will find out more about the program....

History of Armed & Prohibited Persons System (APPS) 
Created in 2001 (SB 950) as response to high-profile murder cases involving people prohibited from owning firearms.
 APPS cross-references five databases to find people who legally purchased handguns and registered assault weapons since 1996 with those prohibited from owning or possessing firearms.

 Prohibited Persons: felons, individuals with history of violence (domestic violence/restraining order) or severe mental illness, wanted persons.

 The first and only other major statewide sweep was in 2007 with 422 firearms seized. 2011 Sweep Stats

 Sweep conducted over six weeks in 43 counties  1,011 APPS cases – 1,209 fireams seized

 Ammunition seized – 155,731 rounds  Grenades seized – 2

 Number of individuals from whom firearms seized – 723

 Department of Justice agents involved – 99 Statewide APPS numbers:

 17,921 uncontacted individuals are prohibited from having firearms.

 34,204 handguns are believed to be owned by prohibited persons.

 1,590 assault weapons are believed to be owned by prohibited persons.

SB 819
 The bill would add the word “possession” to CA penal code to allow the Department of Justice to use money from existing fees collected by gun dealers across the state for APPS program.

 SB 819 would allow the DOJ to request to reduce the amount added to the Dealer’s Record of Sales (DROS) surplus to strengthen the APPS via five DOJ agent hires and increased support and training to local law enforcement agencies.

 Passed Senate –22 to 9 and will be heard in Assembly Public Safety Committee on June 21st. Dealer’s Record of Sales fee (DROS):

 Approximately 1,100 firearms are sold in California each day.

 Gun purchasers pay a DROS fee to cover the background checks conducted by the DOJ’s Bureau of Firearms.

 DROS account has a surplus – due in part to a 30 percent increase in gun sales over the last three years and improved technology, equipment and training, which has reduced the amount of time needed to process each gun application.

 Every year, more than $3 million is added to the DROS surplus
