AmmoLandROSEVILLE, CA –-(Ammoland.com)- Following numerous reports of improper arrests and firearm seizures throughout California, Roseville-based gun rights group The Calguns Foundation has issued a new warning to gun owners in the Golden State.
“Gun confiscation efforts pushed by Attorney General Kamala Harris have apparently led to unconstitutional arrests of regular, non-prohibited gun owners as well as the seizure of their firearms and ammunition,” said Brandon Combs, the group’s executive director and creator of the Foundation’s DOJ Watch project.
California’s Armed Prohibited Persons System, or ‘APPS’, firearms confiscation program was funded in 2013 through Senate Bill 140, authored by state legislators including San Diego-based senator Joel Anderson (R-Alpine). SB 140 re-appropriated money paid by gun buyers for background checks to APPS law enforcement actions, including the one which took firearms from Bakersfield, California resident Michael Merritt.
“These frightening raids, often carried out by heavily armed DOJ agents and local law enforcement agencies, aren’t just hitting violent criminals,” noted Combs. “What a sad day it is when even elderly law-abiding people need to be on the lookout for Ms. Harris’ gun-grabbing goons.”
Should you be contacted by law enforcement, be polite but prepared to exercise your rights. For instance, should a warrant be served upon you, do not physically resist the officers but do remain silent and contact your attorney as soon as possible. Do not consent to any search and remember that you are not required to volunteer information or open locked containers.
As part of its ongoing efforts to defend gun owners from malicious and improper prosecutions, The Calguns Foundation operates a Help Hotline for firearms related legal issues. Should you be the target of the DOJ’s APPS gun confiscation efforts or any other firearms-related law enforcement encounter, detainment, or arrest while in California, the Foundation suggests the following:
● Never consent to a search
● Exercise your right to remain silent
● Contact CGF’s Help Hotline through the online form at www.calgunsfoundation.org/
● If you need immediate legal assistance, please contact an attorney (some firearms attorneys are listed on the CGF Help Hotline web page)

MOLON LABE, YOU DIRTY C%&KSUCKERS!!!
I REALLY HATE THIS STATE!!!!!
hey #1, you could always move to the South, our gun laws are still very good! The cost of living is not bad, it can’t be as bad as LA. Plus in Texas and Louisiana there are still jobs! just a suggestion!! 🙂
While I agree that Louisiana and Texas are and probably will be the last holdouts against this type of governmental assault, I have to vociferously say that he shouldn’t have to move! California is still a part of the America that is supposedly protected by Constitutional rights. In theory anyway. In any case, I think the time has come to where we should soon see confrontations between the citizens and the police. Once it fully begins, there will be few fence sitters as there are now.
Godspeed to you #1. There are worse things than dying.
Strawman, I understand that they are a part of America, but nobody is standing up over there, from what I see in news reports, MSM and alternative. I am from the south, born and raised, I can’t imagine that happening here, our people still live off the land, literally, the wild game. Even the people who are not “awake”, you hear them, and guns, well they ain’t taking them from down here. If #1 NWOHATR called me tomorrow morning and said Missy, I need you and bulldog, we are gonna fight, I would muster every ounce of money I had and go, to fight by his side. He is a brother in arms. I Love ALL Americans, I just know some states are easier to live in than others. 🙂
I left commiefornia 11 years ago for Arizona, and I’m extremely glad I did! Here a law abiding citizen doesn’t need a permit to carry open or concealed.
I feel badly for my sons and daughter who still live there, as they are gun owners.
That’s why the Federal Government is flooding the country with immigrants, use them as a voting block to destroy our rights
My brother just moved to Texas because of this crap. I left in 79 and haven’t been back since.
Wise decision, REDHORSE.
“Do not consent to any search and remember that you are not required to volunteer information or open locked containers.”
That’s OK, they’ll just rape your daughter or shoot one of them in order to get them open or for you to “volunteer” information and then they will change the story in their report to say they were following police protocol and the people were resisting arrest and interfering with a public servant. No biggie.
They really think we were born yesterday. 🙄
I have no pitty for the citizens of California that are being assaulted and disarmed. If they are not willing to use their firearms to resist then they do not deserve the liberty of protecting themselves. The 2nd amendment isn’t there just to look pretty and sound good on paper. It is there to be exercised agaisnt tyrants. Use it or lose it!
You’d have to be totally brain-dead to believe it stops here, bozo.
Whatever state you live in, you think it’s untouchable? Whatever they do here, YOU’RE NEXT.
Better get a f%&king clue!!!
Yep
No I do not think it will stop there “bozo”. The difference is not about States it is about willingness to fire upon those that are confiscating and risking certain death to defend one’s liberty. Learn to read “English”. Those that are unwilling to die for liberty do not deserve it.
Are you here to start trouble or are you a troll or what!!! #1 knows what he is talkin` about. Chill out sammy
I wouldn’t be so quick to gloat over other states misfortunes if I were you.
Sounds communist to me.
You got to be kidding Samuel. So It seems that you believe in registering your fire arms too then.
And I HATE f%&king communists EVEN MORE than this state.
#1,
Let us known when the good people of Cali are ready. We got your back and we bring a lot to the fight. 🙂
He doesn’t sound like a Communist to me. He’s either so Stupid as to think a single person/ family can take on a SWAT team (suicide by cop), or a Troll.
No I don’t believe that someone can survive assault. That is not the point. What you are saying is that you would hand over your weapons to save your life and therefore subject yourself and that of your family to being defenseless against tyrants. What value is life in servitude? If you people are not willing to stand your ground then just go turn your weapons in right now. Your whole facade that you stand for liberty is a farce.
Yea samuel, I`m guessin` that you are a F`n troll lookin` at your statements towards some of us oldtimers here. F off sammy. You haven`t a clue what your talkin` about towards Angel.
Thanks for the support, everyone.
This clown is a perfect example of what’s wrong with this country. Everything is A-O.K., as long as it’s not happening to THEM. As long as they’ve got their television ‘programming’ to pacify them, life is good.
And screw everyone else.
Idiot.
I agree with Samuel and im a native Californian, you know nothing of history ? i read some were that in Russia after this dude was in the gulag he said if just one would of stand up ageist them then another,
we all wouldn’t be here ….
btw, how many SWAT teams have YOU taken on lately, tough guy???
You are too scared to stand by your words. You have no conviction. You are a fraud. Do us a favor from now on, keyboard commando, keep your opinion to yourself. You have demonstrated that there is no force behind your words. I have resigned myself to death if I or my neighbors are assaulted. You have resigned yourself to rolling over like a good dog. Lick the hand that feeds you.
Sounds like your trollin` trying to start trouble here with us guys sammy boy. Back off us guys. Your talkin` a lot of crap here for not being here very long dick wad.
I`m watchin you. Talk about a fraud comeing here talkin your your shit!! back off trouble maker
BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! RLMAO!!!!!
IF I thought you had the balls, I’d tell Henry to tell you where to meet me here. Then we’d see who’s all talk, clownboy.
Eat a dick, B#TCH!!!
F%&k you AND the horse you rode in on, HAMuel.
@sswipe.
Damn right #1, Notice how he was talkin` that crap real late last night – about 3 am – when few were up. I caught that puke when I was up stokein` the fire talkin` crap to youand Angel. Yea, I`ll be watchin` that guy.
“The Calguns Foundation is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that serves its members, supporters, and the public through educational, cultural, and judicial efforts to defend and advance Second Amendment and related civil rights.”
WOW! 501c3. I wonder if they care just as much about the people as their churches.
Call me crazy, but I wouldn’t be bragging that I’m “501c3” if I were trying to garner support for my organization.
Hmm….I wonder why they are not doing this in South Central Los Angeles area in the Hood. I’m sure they can confiscate a lot of illegal guns there.
Oh wait! That’s right. Silly me. It’s about confiscating the LEGAL gun owners first. The gangs can wait till later AFTER the legal ones have been confiscated. 😉 Then they can use them to raid and plunder the innocent law-abiding people without any problems.
And besides, they don’t want to confiscate guns from people who actually know how to use them and won’t hesitate to shoot back. Why that would end their whole operation right there and make their political propaganda fail right from the start.
Oh darn, there I go again. I ruined the whole damn thing. 😳
I guess they are preparing for China’s purchase of California. God forbid if people had the ability to stave-off a foreign, Agenda 21, economic acquisition.
History as well as many posters here have correctly pointed out the repercussions of surrendering your guns, in that if you don’t die protecting your Constitutional Rights, you will die a defenseless person within the NWO’s subjugation. Live free or die trying!
