We've been warned, and now here it is, just days away...starting with, SURPRISE SURPRISE..California. THIS Friday when this new law takes effect, just about anyone will be able to "whine" about you. Then shortly after.. a search and seize order to grab your guns can follow.
When California's new law takes effect on Friday, your Second Amendment rights will be in the hands of your ex-girlfriend.
Or ex-wife, or therapist or neighbor , anyone, really, who doesn't like you.
The "Gun Violence Restraining Order" act, which goes into effect the first of the year, gives the state authority (it claims) to seize all your legally-owned weapons for up to three weeks based on nothing but someone else’s word.
A judge , after hearing "concerns" from just about anyone who claims to know you, can sign a search and seizure order, giving police full authority to bust into your home and seize your firearms.
This can all be done without you ever knowing, The Daily Caller is reporting. You are not a party to the complaint and you have no way of contesting the seizure or getting your firearms back until after the three-week "cooling-off" period has expired. Then you are required to prove you're not a public menace to get your guns back. If you don't, the judge can extend the seizure for up to one year.
The person who wants your guns taken away need not provide any proof or any evidence whatsoever that you're a danger to yourself or others. Some of the reasons (but not all) a judge can sign off on the seizure are vague and ridiculous. They include: any prior arrest for a felony (conviction not necessary); reckless "display or brandishing" of a firearm; threatened use of physical force; and, my personal favorite: "evidence of recent acquisition of firearms, ammunition or other deadly weapons."
This means if you've done nothing but bought a gun recently, you are subject to having them confiscated.
When the police break down your door and ransack your home looking for your guns, they're required to provide you this notice:
"To the restrained person: This order is valid until the expiration date and time noted above. You are required to surrender all firearms and ammunition that you own or possess in accordance with Section 18120 of the Penal Code and you may not have in your custody or control, own, purchase, possess, or receive, or attempt to purchase or receive a firearm or ammunition, while this order is in effect. A hearing will be held on the date and at the time noted above to determine if a more permanent gun violence restraining order should be issued. Failure to appear at that hearing may result in a court making an order against you that is valid for a year. You may seek the advice of an attorney as to any matter connected with the order. The attorney should be consulted promptly so that the attorney may assist you in any matter connected with the order."
California is calling it a "Gun Violence Restraining Order"...more like the beginning to the end of the 2nd Amendment. People of California…be prepared.
And Hitler never killed anyone; he was only giving orders!
No, they ARE NOT forced.
“Just following orders” was rejected as an excuse.
But, they will act and violate rights, and the consequences may fall. They will be deserving.
Does this mean that some liberal hacktivist can stake out a gun store or counter at walmart and then say follow a purchaser to their car get the license plate and basically SWAT them?
That is a possible scenario. This is going to wreak havoc.
Californians need to play dirty, like the liberals, with this. Report politicians, their armed security, and police chiefs. Have the law ruthlessly enforced on the politicians. Do it legally but do it.
Ok. Start with Dre. Double dog dare ya.
Sounds like a bonanza for lawyers to me.
Everyone whose forearms are confiscated will hire a lawyer.
Let’s call in Jerry Brown’s detail.
I like you, but you’re wrong on this one.
I would expect to see the original language on a rabid Lefty anti-gun site.
thus begins rwii/cwii.
lots of cops enjoy it. plus when they go into your house, dont think they wont be looking for anything else they can string you up on. this is a pretext to go on a fishing expedition without any evidence except heresay from an unknown to you other party.
color of law. applies to officers ‘just following orders’.
yes but there needs to be ways for wrongly accused to prove it quickly against vengeful, lying people trying to swat them. when they don’t put these safeguards in, there is no balance between personal security and public safety. heresay is not enough. same thing with rape accusations, no serious consequences. if you don’t put mechanisms in to punish deliberate abusers that will play the system to ruin someone, there’s no balance.
this law has no balance. neither do false rape claims. or bad parent accusations, no strong recourse for destroying people’s lives and reputations and spending tens of thousands to get property back or visitation rights back, or fix reputations.
If this is anything like it is stated, THEY BETTER BE DAMN GLAD I DO NOT LIVE IN CA.
This is a GO SIGN.
Its getting to be months, maybe weeks before Claire Wolfology.
Used to be years.
In Nazi Germany, if they came looking for your guns and you couldn't produce them, they'd just burn your house down. Problem solved.
The reason the left and the right are beginning to sound the same is that it is NOT about Left Vs. Right.
It is about Globalist/Elitist Vs. Everyone Else.
Bingo. The oligarchy is not willing to give up their power and money, and they are moving to set themselves at the top of the heap permanently.
