GHEI: ATF's latest gun grab - Washington Times
Agency reduces due process for seizing firearms.
The Obama administration is making it easier for bureaucrats to take away guns without offering the accused any realistic due process. In a final rule published last week, the Justice Department granted the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) authority to seize and administratively forfeit property involved in controlled-substance abuses. That means government can grab firearms and other property from someone who has never been convicted or even charged with any crime.
The disarming of America.
You dont even have to be charged with controlled substance abuse. The ATF (or TSA) just has to think there might be substance abuse or investigates controlled substance abuse. It's upside down now. The burden is on you to prove your innocence and get the property back.
I must be psychic today, I already know what the defenders are going to post.
