I was reading the following story on foxnews:

Within it I noticed this:

"In a state that doesn't require gun registration, officials have had to canvas local pawn shops to check sales records for Glocks. They compiled a list of 60 gun owners and tested the weapons of about 40 last weekend. But they still need to test more."

How is this possible? So say I buy a pistol from Carters Country that happens to fit the profile of a pistol used in a homicide. How can the police come to my house and get this pistol? Wouldn't they have to obtain a warrant in order to seize the weapon?

This type of thing really scares me. No gun registration, however the authorities are still able to go get pistols to test them.

And to answer your question, the police cannot legally seize your possessions without a warrant, unless you are committing a crime within view. They need a warrant or subpoena based on probable cause.
