THIS IS THE POLITICS SECTION SO IT'S PRETTY MUCH A GIVEN; THAT MOST FOLKS HERE ARE AT LEAST PASSINGLY FAMILIAR WITH CIVIL FORFEITURE; CONSIDER THE FACT THAT SEIZURES ARE OFTEN ENACTED ON THE PREMISE THAT A PROPERTY/ITEM COMMITTED A CRIME; JUST ONE PROBLEM THOUGH...
INANIMATE OBJECTS CAN'T COMMIT CRIMES; COMMISSION OF A CRIMINAL ACT REQUIRES VOLITION; OTHERWISE, IT'S THE GUNS AND NOT THE PEOPLE HOLDING THE GUNS.
