Police Seized Guns as a “Protective Measure”

Lost your job recently? You might want to expect a knock on the door from the police. The Mail Tribune in Southern Oregon is reporting that this is what happened to a Medford man:
“Medford police said they were watching the Effie Street home starting Sunday night in response to law enforcement concerns about the man after he was placed on administrative leave from his job on Thursday. A Medford police news release described him as disgruntled and said police knew he had legally purchased several firearms over two days. Police identified the guns as a Heckler & Koch .45-caliber handgun, a Walther .380-caliber handgun and an AK-47 rifle.”
Note that he had “legally” purchased these items. We know there have been too many shootings by disgruntled former employees over the years, but is it now a crime to own a gun if you get fired?
