We all saw this one coming. Two weeks after Elliot Roger stabbed three people and shot three more, a trio of legislators from California (including Dianne Feinstein) have proposed a new federal law called The Pause for Safety Act which would allow anyone at any time to seek a firearms restraining order against an individual to prevent them from purchasing any new firearms and also confiscate any firearms they may already own. From Barbara Boxers website, here are the details we have at the moment:
The new legislation The Pause for Safety Act will include the following provisions: One, it would help ensure that families and others can go to court and seek a gun violence prevention order to temporarily stop someone close to them who poses a danger to themselves or others from purchasing a firearm.
Two, it would help ensure that families and others can also seek a gun violence prevention warrant that would allow law enforcement to take temporary possession of firearms that have already been purchased if a court determines that the individual poses a threat to themselves or others.
Three, it would help ensure that law enforcement makes full use of all existing gun registries when assessing a tip, warning or request from a concerned family member or other close associate.
The scariest part of this proposed legislation is the idea that anyone can ask for one of these restraining orders. So, for example, if a gun control activist got ahold of a sign-in sheet from a local gun range, they could start spamming the judicial system with these gun violence prevention warrants, claiming that they believe these individuals to be about to commit a crime, and send a squad of police officers to their doorstep to confiscate their firearms. For their own good, of course.
Now, what was that line about no one wanting to take your guns?
Agree with your comment, but suggest changing “disown” to “exterminate”.
The Daleks were right, of course.
Most of my family are liberals.
I also know of two local cases in the last couple of years where families had unsuccessfully tried to force mentally ill relatives into hospitals only to see them commit truly horrific murders within weeks or days of going to court.
One was found with the victim’s head in a bag and the other was found with the victim’s intestines wrapped around his neck. Neither case involved a gun.
What if false accusations are made by ex-wives out of revenge. It’s not like any of them would lie to punish their exes would they?.../s
MOlon Labe you old hag
Each has their own way ;)
Amen. Why in the world is Texas still in this sinking ship of fools?
No way DiFi. It all sounds and looks good on paper, but these are liberals we’re dealing with. They will go beyond what the law states and fill that legislation so full of loopholes that it will prevent any private citizen from ever owning a gun when it’s all said and done. We all know the endgame anyways with these people and this is a big step towards that goal.
Schild und Schwert der Partei
” It is a great issue for republicans.”

Yes, it is...but will the lobby-fed RINOs do anything about it?? Their influx of wealth won’t be disrupted by working for America and its people.
I’d like to slightly amend the bill:
The new legislation The Pause a Lying Politician for Safety Act will include the following provisions:
One, it would help ensure that families and others can go to court and seek a prevention order to temporarily stop their Congress person who poses a danger to themselves or their country by lying.
Two, it would help ensure that families and others can also seek a prevention warrant that would allow law enforcement to take temporary possession of a Congressperson if a court determines that the Congressperson has been lying to themselves or others.
Three, it would help ensure that law enforcement makes full use of all existing public statements and recorded videos when assessing a tip, warning or request from a concerned family member or other close associate.
Works for me - I was just gonna say “come and take ‘em” ;’)
amen brother. I always get the same..”you need us more than we need you crap from non-Texans”... I’d like to give it one good try. One REAL good try.
A federal domestic relations gun confiscation statute? Let’s see them enforce it. They don’t enforce many of their own laws.
If they did it might trigger CWII.
Keep in mind that even when they come quietly, proposing “reasonable gun control measures” ... “gun control” means firearms confiscation. So Fineswine is just being honest for a change.
She’s like a demented Energizer gun control bunny.
What is she, about a hundred years old? Time to reti’, Di.
Very striking examples of how broken our system is for dealing with the mentally ill. If only we had a truly effective government that could develop ways to humanely treat people like without taking the civil rights of the rest of us.
DiFi needs another lecture from Senator Ted Cruz.
I have done that. The libs in my life only get perfunctory acknowledgment, and they know I appreciate their absence.
42% of America - the lib agenda group - must be feeling the same thing. Since we can’t put them all on, say, Guam or Samoa, we must sequester them financially, emotionally, cut every tie until their social ties are only amongst themselves.
Then when they learn that conservative principles are lifting states around the country but liberal policies are killing the states that uphold them, they might finally begin to understand.
More personally, if you treat rats and libs like they are literally infected and you keep every distance from them you can, they might start to wonder why they are being isolated as the disease carriers they are.
