Whats even more sad about this is it's more due process violations, which ACLU and other groups should be against even if they don't like guns.
I included a lengthy position paper by the ACLU in my testimony. They oppose such laws for a variety of reasons. One time they are on our side.
under the same logic, a driver's car should be taken away by police if anyone thinks he/she may be a danger to oneself or others....
and driving is not a right
heck, let's expand this unconstitutional law to include knives and any and all "dangerous instruments"
Let's introduce a bill like that next year to show how stupid it is
I had already copied and pasted the bill with the idea of submitting it before next session (maybe next week) to every law maker that voted for it using the various substitutions for "firearms": any motorized vehicle, knives, razors, box cutters, screw drivers, hammers, wrenches (oh, hell, all hand tools), machetes, bats, pipes, bricks, rope, gasoline or any other flammable liquid, all potentially poisonous household chemicals (bleach, drain cleaners, etc.), etc. etc. etc. There'd be a separate bill for each item, just so I could send a LOT of emails to the morons. I think the most attractive one to me was "all household appliances or electric devices that have a cord greater than 8 inches in length", as those could obviously be used to suffocate (aka "hang") oneself, or another person ("Yep, the TV, refrigerator, computer, all the lamps, the phone chargers, etc. all gotta go..."). It gets a little complicated regarding probably the most commonly used weapons to harm other people: fists and feet. Go ahead, confiscate those... I guess with Sharia law they actually do that. If the lawmakers had any integrity, and even the slightest commitment to logical consistency, they would have to submit and pass those bills... ALL of them. If a person is deemed "a danger to themselves", certainly all those items would need to be removed... and most of them regarding the person being a danger to others. The idea that the person stops being a credible danger to themselves and/or others once their firearms and ammo have been taken is utterly and totally preposterous. That doesn't worry or concern out legislators in the least. It's what they do.
Of course we'll see that from our legislators sometime shortly after the proverbial snowflake in hell...
