If he were Bill Gates, it’d have been different
From Publicola and Rachel Lucas: William Gates opened fire on drug dealers engaged in a shootout in his front yard. He did some damage. The police came and confiscated all of Mr. Gates guns. All of them.
Now, if this were me, I’d have likely assumed that taking the initial gun that I engaged the drug dealers with was for evidence. I may have let that slide, under the pretense I’d get it back soon and it would aid the judicial system.
If the police announced their unwarranted, unreasonable intent to search and seize my guns based on this premise, I’d be in the news for two shootings.
The police stated that there was no crime committed by Mr. Gates, yet confiscated his guns. Appalling.
