In this case, yes. That’s why I read & linked this more in depth local article, http://www.sun-sentinel.com/local/broward/parkland/florida-school-shooting/fl-florida-school-shooting-guns-seized-lighthouse-point-20180316-story.html
However, the article also pointed out that
// ...the civil ruling removing his access to guns and ammunition was granted under the new legislation — which permits confiscating guns from people ***who have not been committed but are deemed a *potential risk* to themselves or others*** ... //
New & dangerous ground here, many questions (in not so clear cut cases of mental illness — tho even still...more later), many concerns.
This is the section of the statute dealing with seized firearms.
“Firearms or ammunition seized or voluntarily surrendered
487 under this paragraph must be made available for return no later
488 than 24 hours after the person taken into custody can document
489 that he or she is no longer subject to involuntary examination
490 and has been released or discharged from any inpatient or
491 involuntary outpatient treatment provided or ordered under
492 paragraph (g), unless a risk protection order entered under s.
493 790.401 directs the law enforcement agency to hold the firearms
494 or ammunition for a longer period or the person is subject to a
495 firearm purchase disability under s. 790.065(2), or a firearm
496 possession and firearm ownership disability under s. 790.064.
497 The process for the actual return of firearms or ammunition
498 seized or voluntarily surrendered under this paragraph may not
499 take longer than 7 days.”
