California plans to confiscate guns from 20,000 people who bought them legally but have since been disqualified because of criminal or psychiatric problems, boosting the state’s relatively tough approach to gun control.
Peter Gleick is a confessed fraudster, thief and probable forger. He also owns a shotgun.
Governor Jerry Brown signed legislation on Wednesday allocating $24m – generated by fees taken from gun buyers at the time of purchase – to the crackdown, the first in a series of gun control bills following the Sandy Hook massacre.
“This bipartisan bill makes our communities safer by giving law enforcement the resources they need to get guns out of the hands of potentially dangerous individuals,” said Evan Westrup, a spokesman for the governor.

Potential danger is now the standard for denying rights to citizens. Giving government discretion over who can exercise rights has always been the goal.
Obama wont come and get your guns but his ass kissing lackies will.
