Police allowed to seize guns in home without a warrant

Springfield, VA – Gun Owners of America (GOA) and Gun Owners Foundation (GOF) have submitted an amicus brief in the U.S. Supreme Court in the case Caniglia v. Strom. The case involves violations of both the Second and Fourth Amendments, after firearms were confiscated during a welfare check, pursuant to the so-called “community caretaking” exception to the Fourth Amendment’s warrant requirement.
