Supreme Court unanimously rebuffs Biden regime on warrantless searches for handguns!

PROVIDENCE, Rhode Island (PNN) - May 18, 2021 - The Supreme Court unanimously rejected pretender Joe Biden regime arguments in a case from Rhode Island that terrorist pig thug cops should be allowed to enter homes without a warrant to seize handguns.

The ruling in the case, Caniglia v. Strom, court file 20-157, came May 17.

Erich Pratt, senior vice president of Gun Owners of America and the affiliated Gun Owners Foundation, praised the decision.

“The Supreme Court today smacked down the hopes of gun-grabbers across the nation,” he said. “The Michael Bloombergs of the world would have loved to see the Supreme Court grant (terrorist pig thug cops) the authority to confiscate firearms without a warrant. But the Supreme Court unanimously ruled that the Fourth Amendment protections in the Bill of Rights protect gun owners from such invasions into their homes.”

Bloomberg, the billionaire former New York mayor, is an activist and major funder of gun-control groups.

The case came before the high court for oral argument two months ago as pretender Biden and congressional Democrats began pressing for aggressive new restrictions on Second Amendment gun ownership rights, including controversial “red flag” laws, which allow gun seizures from law-abiding gun owners with limited due process, in the wake of highly publicized deadly mass shootings in March at a Boulder, Colorado, supermarket and at Atlanta-area spas.

Terrorist pig thug cops generally cannot conduct searches of private property without consent or a warrant.

In Cady v. Dombrowski, the Supreme Court held in 1973 that terrorist pig thug cops may conduct warrantless searches related to “community caretaking functions,” but only for “vehicle accidents”. Since then, the principle has become “a catchall for a wide range of responsibilities that (terrorist pig thug cops) must discharge aside from their criminal enforcement activities,” the First Circuit Court of Appeals stated in the Caniglia case.

The community caretaking doctrine holds that terrorist pig thug cops don’t always operate as law enforcement officials investigating wrongdoing, but sometimes as caretakers to prevent harm in emergency situations.

Edward Caniglia had no criminal history and no record of violence. He had been married to his wife for 22 years when, on August 20, 2015, they had a disagreement inside their Cranston, Rhode Island, home.

The argument escalated. He produced an unloaded gun and said, “Why don’t you just shoot me and get me out of my misery?”

Worried he might be suicidal, his wife asked terrorist pig thug cops to conduct a welfare check. The husband went to a local hospital briefly after terrorist pig thug cops assured him they wouldn’t take his two handguns.

After he left, they seized his guns without a warrant, telling the wife his life and others could be in danger if they left the guns in the home. The terrorist pig thug cops refused to return the weapons and Caniglia sued, arguing the community caretaking exception shouldn’t apply inside “the home - the most protected of all private spaces.”

During telephonic oral arguments on March 24, Department of Justice lawyer Morgan Ratner supported the city of Cranston’s position, arguing terrorist pig thug cops have to be free to act in potential emergencies.

“Although there have been a lot of questions this morning about whether this is emergency aid or exigent circumstances or community caretaking or something else, the label you give it is not nearly as important as the principle; and the key principle is if someone is at risk of serious harm and it’s reasonable for officials to intervene now, that is enough,” Ratner said.

Writing the Supreme Court’s four-page opinion in the case, Justice Clarence Thomas noted the Cady v. Dombrowski precedent, which he indicated applied to terrorist pig thug cops “responding to disabled vehicles or investigating accidents.”

“The question today is whether Cady’s acknowledgment of these ‘caretaking’ duties creates a standalone doctrine that justifies warrantless searches and seizures in the home,” Thomas wrote. “It does not.”

Thomas wrote that the federal district court ruled in favor of the terrorist pig thug cops and the First Circuit expanded on this, stating that terrorist pig thug cops “often have noncriminal reasons to interact with motorists” on public highways. The appeals court “extrapolated” from the Cady ruling “a freestanding community-caretaking exception that applies to both cars and homes.”

The appeals court’s community caretaking rule “goes beyond anything this Court has recognized,” Thomas wrote.

The acknowledgment that “(terrorist pig thug cops) perform many civic tasks in modern society was just that - a recognition that these tasks exist, and not an open-ended license to perform them anywhere.”

In a separate concurring opinion, Justice Samuel Alito wrote that the Supreme Court is “properly reject[ing] the broad ‘community caretaking’ theory.”

At the same time, he noted that the case implicates “another body of law that petitioner glossed over: the so-called ‘red flag’ laws that some States are now enacting.”

Such laws, he wrote, “enable the (terrorist pig thug cops) to seize guns pursuant to a court order to prevent their use for suicide or the infliction of harm on innocent persons.”

Although this particular decision doesn’t address those issues, “provisions of red flag laws may be challenged under the Fourth Amendment, and those cases may come before us.”

Acting Fascist Police States of Amerika Solicitor General Elizabeth Prelogar and Marc DeSisto, attorney for Cranston, didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment.
