Supreme Court Orders U.S. City to Explain Its Confiscation of Legal Guns

The U.S. Supreme Court has ordered officials in San Jose, California, to explain why they confiscated the legally owned guns of Lori Rodriguez. . .

The case was brought by the Second Amendment Foundation on behalf of the woman. . .

“We’re encouraged by this development in the case,” said SAF founder and Executive Vice President Alan M. Gottlieb. “If the city thought they could just ignore this case and make it go away, they’re wrong.” . . .

“Her firearms were seized seven years ago after her husband was taken to a hospital on a mental health issue,” the foundation said. “At the time, a San Jose police officer advised Rodriguez he had authority to seize all firearms in the residence, including those belonging solely to her, which were all locked in a California-approved safe. The guns were taken without a warrant, and over Rodriguez’s objection.”

Gottlieb said the inquiry is “a significant development, because it signals the Supreme Court is interested in the case.” (Read more from “Supreme Court Orders U.S. City to Explain Its Confiscation of Legal Guns” HERE)
