Excellent news.
The Supreme Court ruled Monday that warrantless gun confiscation from Americans’ homes is unconstitutional, voting unanimously on the side of a Rhode Island man whose firearms were taken by law enforcement without a warrant after his wife expressed concerns that he might hurt himself.
According to Caniglia v Strom, a lower court had previously determined that police confiscating the guns without a warrant fell under the Fourth Amendment’s “community caretaking” exception, but a 9-0 vote from the nation’s top court struck down that ruling.

The Supreme Court decision was certainly very clear and its also apparent the Police didn't even agree with His Wife in the first place. That doesn't seem to be a marriage that is going to last very well let alone the issue of No emergency or violent act at all.

Nice to see a resounding 9 to 0 vote for a change. Evidently, even the most liberal justices couldn't find a way to twist the plain language of the constitution.
