Selectman could use refresher on Constitution

From Michael Graham of the Boston Herald:

“We’re from the government and we’re here to inspect your guns!”

In America, it sounds crazy. Here in Massachusetts, it’s just another day in liberal paradise.

Last week, Swampscott Selectman Barry Greenfield proposed the idea of mandatory home inspections for the town’s 600 licensed gun owners. He mentioned the Newtown massacre. He mentioned children’s safety.

There is no record, however, of Selectman Greenfield mentioning the Constitution.

Massachusetts law requires gun owners to store their firearms safely. Greenfield is frustrated with the inability of local cops to push their way into local homes and have a look around without all that “probable cause” and “search warrant” nonsense.

“We need the ability to enforce the state law,” the selectman said, adding that he’s discussed the matter with Swampscott Police Chief Ron Madigan.

The attack on the Constitution by this Liberal is not a Second Amendment issue. It’s a Fourth Amendment one — unreasonable search and seizure.

I bet this Selectman would be against NYC "Stop and Frisk" program.
