Do you or do you not understand the concept of DUE PROCESS?This is a very slippery slope, when legislators pass laws that allow local authorities to confiscate guns from individuals based on "criteria" before any crime has been committed.
While we certainly see the benefit IF THE PERSON WAS ACTUALLY STOPPED from murdering people, but none of the people from whom weapons were taken have. And yes, it's a small number of people to begin with. but once the precedent has been set, once Florida gets a Democrat gun grabber governor and legislature all it takes is arbitrary rulings to be added, such as anyone who's ever posted on a forum and seems angry about political circumstances, could be added to the list. Or anyone who supports certain Presidents. Don't ever underestimate the radical Left.
More than 450 people in Florida ordered to give up guns under new law, report says
Here is a link to the full text of the law passed.
Statutes & Constitution :View Statutes : Online Sunshine
If a person identifies you as potentially harmful through nearly any act or threat of aggression, you could have your guns confiscated.
This is a VERY VERY dangerous law. The state has declared lawyers hired to defend actions by defendants to block these actions cannot be awarded attorneys fees, thereby discouraging attorneys from taking cases where these actions have been initiated.
This should be seen as a shot across the bow to the 2nd amendment.
Unbelievable leeway to do large scale confiscations.
If the republicans who control the state of Florida didn't write in protections for everyone to have their day in court to prevent the confiscation from happening then that's the fault of the republicans in Florida.
If they did put those protections in that law then the confiscations are probably lawful. Guns were taken from people who doctors and the state proved were a threat to themselves and others
The way to prevent mass shootings is to identify the crazy people before they kill a bunch of innocent people.
It looks to me that the law is doing what it's supposed to do. Get guns out of the hands of mentally unstable people.
I thought you gun nuts didn't want crazy people to have guns. In fact you all blame it on people being mentally unstable and our government doing nothing about it.
Now Florida is doing something about it and you have a problem with them doing what you want them to do?
You people need to make up your minds.
Hey Jaraxle, check out post 84. It shows that Trump is in favor of taking guns away from people determined to be crazy FIRST, and then they have to do due process through the courts to get their guns back. Are you gonna bitch about Trump too? There's even a video showing him saying take the guns first, and go through the courts second.
Yep... Trump is not a policy expert on everything, so he would be wrong on this. Only twits like you who worship obama thought he was infallible....
I challenge you to prove either of those allegations. I have never worshiped Obama, and I have NEVER thought that Trump was infallible. However, many of you on here seem to think Trump is infallible because you continually defend his stupidity daily.
Oh.......................and if Trump is so great, why are the apple and potato farmers nervous? Oh yeah.................it's because of Trump's tariffs.
