The gun grabbers are at it again, each time with a new twist on why government should seize guns from citizens who have committed no crime and threatened no one. This is the third major violation of the Second Amendment to come out this week.
One of the most lawless states with the most draconian laws is California, with the law books overflowing with rules and regulations that serve only to limit the rights of innocent citizens.
Somehow, the liberal judges and legislators never seem to get the message that criminals and evil-doers are not interested in these laws and will refuse to obey them. That includes legal purchases and mandated background checks, ignored by the bad guys, which means the regulations will only punish those who obey the law.
In this case, January 1st, 2016 marks the day that gun owners in California can have their guns seized by authorities with no prior notice, and no crime committed.
The law permits a person’s weapons to be seized for twenty-one days if a judge can be convinced that there is a potential for violence, as determined by family members of the gun owner. The key is to convince a judge that the person possessing a firearm “poses an immediate and present danger of causing personal injury to himself, herself or another by having a gun in his or her custody or control.”
“It’s a short duration and it allows for due process,” he said. “It’s an opportunity for mental health professionals to provide an analysis of a person’s mental state.” – Excuse me, but you cannot say that it allows for “due process” when you start off the action by denying a lawful citizen the “due process” required to confiscate their gun(s) in the first place. A little “doublespeak” going on here perhaps?
This is a common theme among gun control folks to try to legislation action on the FEAR that something MIGHT happen. It is well known that personal protection orders can be obtained with the flimsiest of evidence. How will this law be any different?
I see a whole flurry of court challenges to this. What a total waste and a stupid idea. Perhaps we should apply the same thinking to other Amendments of the Constitution. Perhaps people should be prevented from speaking dangerous thoughts for some period of time to give them a “time out” before speaking something utterly stupid…like this particular law.
Does the word and or phrase of due process mean anything. The only this administration wants to do is process ISIS member with no back ground checks. Strange to me
Alot of people are gonna bleed when this stats…..
Does the meaning of due process mean anything. Trial by jury if found guilty of a crime. Then come the loss of property. County gone to hell
