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 someones 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 Californias 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.
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?
This Ping List is for all things pertaining to infringes upon or victories for the 2nd Amendment.
FReepmail me if you want to be added to or deleted from the list.

"...gun seizure orders from bosses and coworkers..."
Let the denunciations begin.
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.
Best just start hiding them, in case.
Anyone who announces to others these days that they have guns, is a fool.
I think I saw this movie. Wasn’t this in Orwell’s 1984?
This Minority Report BS needs to get to SCOTUS ASAP!
yeah, nothing can go wrong with this legislative effluent...
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
"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.
I never thought it would be the play book of the democrat party.
This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
and just who out there is going to actually comply with such a patently unconstitutional “order?”
ha! what a f...ing farce these idiots create
the first such “charge” can be filed against Feinstein’s pistol
Gezzuz...What a screwed up Nazi like state.
When the hell does the Supreme Court finally step in and slap down these blatant violations of the 2nd Amendment?
So why have them if one has to keep them hidden.
If you have to hide them we have lost already.
