CA Advances Bill To Allow Bosses, Co-Workers To File Gun Seizure Orders

The California Assembly on Monday advanced a bill to add school faculty, employers and co-workers to the list of people who can ask a judge to take away someone’s guns.

The measure, AB 61, passed the Assembly in a Democrat-heavy 54-16 vote and now heads to the state Senate. It would greatly expand who can file for a Gun Violence Restraining Order in the state under California’s so-called “red flag law.”

Adopted in 2014, the current law allows the seizure of firearms– for up to 21 days– from an otherwise legal gun owner who is believed to pose a “significant danger.” This initial order could be extended for as long as a year if the situation warrants while filing a false petition is a misdemeanor offense. As it stands, just law enforcement and immediate family can seek such an order. AB 61 would expand this to include school employees such as guidance counselors and teachers as well as the employers and co-workers of a subject.

Second Amendment groups such as the Firearms Policy Coalition and Gun Owners of California, who have long felt the orders were a dangerous pathway to gun confiscation without delivering any promise of treatment for someone in legitimate crisis, are opposed to the expansion.

According to the state Department of Justice, GVROs have been issued 614 times from 2016 to the end of 2018.

Co-Workers, huh?

Better not piss-off the feminist, lesbian in the next cubicle by discussing politics

New amendment soon to allow that A-Hole neighbor to file seizure orders too?

So it’s up to you to not talk about what you have by way of firearms to anyone! Gun ownership should be a private matter. The less your neighbors know, the better.

Anyone who announces to others these days that they have guns, is a fool.

So singing this driving down from Montana,

“California here I come, right back where I started from…”

Uh, you do know about gun confiscation law AB 61 right?

Oh! Well then, a new tune:

“California I am going away, Not going to stay here another day”

From the article: "............AB 61 would expand this to include school employees such as guidance counselors and teachers as well as the employers and co-workers of a subject."

"SUBJECT"!?

Not good.
What happens when your neighbors merely suspect you.
Then they call the Nazi gun police. You go to jail.
Lose your house? Job? Take your kids away?
Not good. This will only lead to more loss of freedom.

I hate California.

And I’ve lived here for 40 years.

Which means I must hate myself.

But my ex-wife has the kids.

And they live here.

My youngest is 11.

So I’ve got 7 more years.

If I make it that long.

So why have them if one has to keep them hidden.

If you have to hide them we have lost already.
