4. The idiocy of two laymen arguing the Constitution as if they are

constitutional experts aside sometimes it's hard not to respond to GE.

I'll see your 5th amendment and raise you the 4th that says, in part,. " And no Warrents shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."

Probable cause would be the belief of someone in a position to show cause that a person is or may be a danger to themselves or others and willing to swear or affirm to a judge to that such is the case and naming the person and the guns. So, yeah, a Warrent can be issued and property seized just because somebody said so and is willing to swear or affirm that such is true.

GE and I both got our degree in constitutional law from Sears so take our opinions for what they are worth.
