Here's a link to the article I read this morning:

If a gun can be seized because it "might" have been used as a weapon in a crime - I guess the seizure of knives of any type might be next.

Gun Seizure
Dallas Morning News had an article today about an arrest of a credit card hacker in Miami Beach. FL. The article mentioned that in 2008, federal agents seized two computers, $22,000 in cash and a 9mm Glock from the suspect. It puzzles me somewhat that this was a computer crime, yet they seized a gun from the suspect. I've seen other such reports, where during the course of an arrest, police seize a gun or a number of guns from someone's house even though the arrest is not related to a gun crime. Is it standard procedure to seize any and all guns found in a residence regardless of the circumstance of the arrest? What legal justification is there?
