So a person in which you have strong disagreement with could maliciously file a restraining order against you, because they “feared” they were in danger from you.
Is that how a temporary restraining order can be filed, ie, based on how “threatened” you “feel” by someone?
No evidence required, ie: witness to the threat, police report, etc?
I could see this being used maliciously against boyfriends, husbands, and political gadflys / watchdogs.
Its unconstitutional for it takes away a person’s right of self-defense without judicial remedy.
At least a court should determine whether you’re a danger to yourself or others before your 2nd Amendment right is taken away.
This wont stand against its first constitutional challenge.
If you really, really look at it, we don't have any constitutional rights any more. They are still written down on paper but if you don't have the money to protect your rights...you don't have any rights...PERIOD!
Between the “back room deals” politicians and members of the legal profession made over the past 100 years, it's become a “pay to play” system. No matter what, the politicians still get elected by “keeping you safe” and the legal vultures get rich by “protecting your rights” or by directly filing lawsuits.
Now, the stupid populace has been so conditioned that they freely want the government to protect us by eliminating the Second Amendment from the Bill of Rights!
Each year that goes by and each year the “new” generation is “programmed” by our educational and entertainment elites, we become even closer to that elimination and consequential enslavement of all who used to be free and independent.
November of 2016 will go down in world history as one of two things: The fall of America or the reestablishment of independence and freedom for America.
Abusers could easily use this law to further abuse a victim. So you’re a staler D-bag, but you know your victim owns a gun, so you don’t stalk her. File a restraining order, watch her get her means of protection stripped, and do your bad thing. It’s really that simple.
Stupid law from stupid people.
Another communists control over Americans.
OK, time to invest in baseball bats, axes and meat cleavers?
Does anybody who gives up their gun ever get them back when they are cleared?
Action and reaction and action once more into the breach-

CONNECTICUTT GOVERNOR ORDERS CONFISCATION OF ALL GUNS
1776
“NEW HAVEN {Connecticut} October 16 Advices from Long-Island.
The following is a copy of what was sent through the county of Suffolk, by order of Governor Tryon.
The Governor of the province recommends to the
inhabitants of Suffolk county the following measures, as the best means for those who have been active in the rebellion to preserve their lives and save their estates, viz. That all offensive arms, indiscriminately, be
forthwith collected, in each respective manor, township and precinct, as soon as possible, to deliver up at head quarters to the Commander in Chief of the King’s
troops.” p.224

This is confiscation by another name.
These people have violated and “trampled” their oaths to the Constitution. Its time to fire these traitors to the Republic and get them out of office.
Step one: registration
Step two: publish list of gun owners
Step three: concerned citizens will file TRO’s feeling “unsafe” because of presence of guns.
Step four: surrender your guns within 24 hrs.
Step five: jail for failure to comply
Step six: TRO is dissolved.
Step seven: still in jail for failure to turn in guns. Never mind you nothing wrong in the first place.
Step eight: people will learn to go down fighting rather than turn in guns. Civil War to ensue.
Oh, the other left coast.
