Conn. gun seizures

A report on a CT (corrected) law that allows officials to get a warrant, and seize firearms, on the belief that a person *might* misuse them in the future. Something over 1,700 guns have been taken under its provisions.

Quite apart from the obvious 2A violations, it seems to me there's a 4th Amendment issue as well. Warrants are supposed to be issued based on probable cause, i.e., basis to suspect a crime has been committed, and that evidence of it will be found. These are being issued where no crime has been committed at all.
