What, no gun advocates SCREAMING about the Constitution? Oh, they're criminals, that's different.

I would like to know how they caught on to these guys. What where they doing that is wrong, 17 arms (and obvious hunting/sporting arms) is not an arsenal, nor is it illegal. Palo Alto online obviously has shown its true colors by thinking this is news. Until we know what crime was committed, this is just obvious left wing "guns are bad" propaganda.

From your friendly neighbor who owns 36 firearms, a member of the NRA, a tax paying adult who works in public service, volunteers to help a boyscout troop, and was a former eagle scout.

With Operation SMART, I believe our neighborhoods will once again become neighborhoods without drive by shootings and multiple gang related crimes.

If the guns confiscated were legal, the officers would not have wasted time on the investigation. There's a reason behind the method!

Great job - the PD is on a roll by the look of it!
