I reposted this on another forum, and one of the members there noted that on page 6, the items were seized on September 25th 2011.
LOL...
My gut feeling now is that the police entered for some spurious or only mildly inimical reason, such as a welfare check or something on the behest of a relative, or even some kind of mistake, saw the wall-o-guns, freaked, and took them.
Now, no matter what reasoning they may or may not have, they're afraid to release them, pending a judges order as a CYA move. They want the cover of a judicial order for fear she'll later be involved in some kind of harmful act, whether such fear is substantiated, or legally relevant or not.
Essentially, the PD is a bunch of pansies that's quaking in their 5.11's at the prospect the plaintiff might commit suicide, or shoot someone else at some future date, and does not feel a simple statement to the media that "We returned the firearms because we had no legal cause of action to have kept them." would suffice.
M21 SKS Sniper Rifle... "M21" was a designation for some Norinco export SKS's that came in around the late 80's and early 90's before the Clinton E.O.'s put a stop to them. I think they had no Chinese military arsenal markings etc.
The "Sniper" part probably just refers to being Tapco-F***** and having a scope and bi-pod on it.
