Gun Control: California DOJ Confiscating Guns
The California Department of Justice is running a program to confiscate guns from homes that local law enforcement refused to implement. Mark LeForestier, California Supervising Deputy Attorney General & Legislative Affairs Director, testified to a Congressional Task force determined to implement gun controls about the Armed Prohibited Persons program.
It is intended to disarm people who are prohibited from owning or possessing firearms under both federal and California law. It is really a preventative law enforcement program that we believe is critical to enhance and move forward and should be used as a model nationally.
This program works into the framework we have been discussing in which “public health” is being used to subvert the civil rights of Americans as protected by the second amendment. Our report “ObamaCare Insurance Will Not Cover Gun Owners” outlines a theoretical strategy in which the second amendment may be subverted at the federal level. The California state constitution does not include the right to keep and bear arms which has led to draconian state gun laws.
Mr. LeForestier goes on to report:
California retains the records relating to purchases to handguns. That provides us with the data to create a firearms registry. I understand that is very controversial in some quarters, but it is essential in our efforts to disarm prohibited persons.
Coming online in January 2014, will be sales of long guns and we will be retaining those records as well.
He doesn’t stop there and goes on to describe the APPs program as carried by Jim Brulte, “someone who is in line now to be the chairman of the California Republican party.” The APPs program empowers the CA DOJ to create the firearms registry mentioned above by cross referencing criminal history records, domestic violence databases, as well as mental health records. A list of those who are both armed and prohibited is the result.
It allows us to capture people who have purchased weapons and then subsequently become prohibited as a result of a felony arrest or mental health issue.
In 2005, the program began and local law enforcement failed to enforce the program. So, in 2007 the CA DOJ started their own force to confiscate weapons and by 2010 had 18 full time agents.
Today we have 33 agents dedicated to this program, but it is still not enough. We have close to 20,000 people on the APPs list. That is a backlog of people that we know to be prohibited. The thirty-three agents that we have dedicated can clear about 2500 cases a year. Yet, each year we have 3000 more cases.
The CA DOJ wants to again double the number of agents dedicated to confiscating weapons in 2013. The list of “Armed Prohibited People” is uploaded to the federal NICS system. In July 2011, mental health records were added to the NICS upload.
