"By allowing a law enforcement officer, family member, or household member to seek the ERPO, SB 719A would allow people who are not mental health professionals, who may be mistaken, and who may only have minimal contact with the respondent to file a petition with the court and testify on the respondents state of mind. This ex parte order, which strips the accused of their Second Amendment rights, would be issued by a judge based on the brief statement of the petitioner. The accused would not be afforded the chance to appear in court to defend themselves against the allegations when the ERPO is issued. These orders may be issued without any allegations of criminal behavior."
In Oregon, people who pose a danger to themselves or others may be dealt with in a number of ways, depending on the circumstances. Under current law, every punitive measure which leads to a prohibition on firearm possession requires some type of judicial process, so people are not arbitrarily deprived of their liberty or their rights. SB 719A is unnecessary and goes far beyond existing law.
Expect what you are receiving.
First and Foremost is “The right to keep and bear arms will not be infringed”.
This is the bedrock because this is the only amendment until recently that the left wants removed. They have since moved up to #1.
No authority can remove your right to own a gun. Courts can remove that right through felony convictions.
That slippery slope starts with all the mumbo jumbo that puts grandma in a group home.
This is hugh and series.
Please note they’re trying to get psychiatrists to pronounce Trump as mentally incompetent so he can be removed under the 22nd amendment.
have you seen what counts as a psychiatrist these days in colleges?
All it takes is one socialist doctor to say you’re a bad man and your gun rights are revoked.
Come out against “same and rational government policies towards immigration” and lose your guns.
Protest against gay marriage and lose your guns.
This is guilty until proven innocent and it’s unconstitutional.
Is it harder to zot in a membership drive?
“stand up and be counted or line up and be numbered “
Yup...this is where the left wants to go with all this.
The 2nd amend, when you absolutely refuse to get in their cattle cars. The left has never lost their fascination with ‘mass transit’
This could be another tool that is used in divorce cases and who gets custody of the children.
It is, but Oregon is under the jurisdiction of the Ninth Circuit.
Guaranteed they are moving toward it.
Which is almost excusable, if it were true. However, if you look at the news this very week, with half of the nation trying to label the President as "mentally compromised", you can quickly see that a Leftist judge can always be found to suddenly "find" that any Freeper who criticizes the next Saint Obama must clearly be mentally unstable and thus an "imminent danger". They already label every right-wing group and and rally and webpage as Nazi and dangerous and violent. Do you really not get that?
Nevertheless, the potential for partisan abuse of this law is tremendous.
For the record, I have zero faith in LE or the courts to act in my best interests. IMO they have in many, many places become little more than partisan political organizations.
Odds that I’d find a non activist court in Oregon are probably rather poor.
(Freeper profile is less than 7 weeks old. Hmmm)
You’d be hard pressed to find a ‘judge’ in Oregon not wearing a p-—y hat or not a member of the resistance.
What kabar said in post #21...
It still is tyranny at it's worst.
I was on to this newbie troll about a month ago. I told him then that his time was limited. Glad to see I’ll be right.
The law is an attempt to avoid proper neurological and mental evaluations in favor of using accusations from hens and police instead. Radical social activists (e.g., feminists) have given propaganda presentations to police departments and academies.
Such policies keep families scattered and less able to rise as new and productive business competition. The same policies send many more cases to lawyers.
