BREAKING: Dianne Feinstein Introduces Federal Bill to Confiscate Guns

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 Boxer’s 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?

“Foolish liberals who are trying to read the Second Amendment out of the Constitution by claiming it's not an individual right or that it's too much of a public safety hazard, don't see the danger in the big picture. They're courting disaster by encouraging others to use the same means to eliminate portions of the Constitution they don't like.”

He is no friend of the 2nd Amendment. But he realizes, apparently, what a perilous path liberals are taking when they try stripping Americans of any constitutional right.

One of my family members (Yankees) mentioned the government making guns illegal. I said “ When that happens I will be living in the breakaway Republic of Virginia”

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

Get it right the first time. (Having learned from experience)

I see no potential for abuse here. None at all. [eyeroll]

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.

But that's why we have to get rid of guns! Imagine how much worse the murderers could have hurt the victims with a gun!

You're right. Texas needs to secede, pronto. hussein has done everything he could to strike down the Constitution and build his army. Let the other 56 or so states have at it. I'm over it. This isn't the America I once loved.

You would think people would have learned their lesson after the first Civil War. We don’t need another one, what we need is another revolutionary war.

I miss good old PSA.

Sigh… same here. Those stewardesses were so beautiful and kind. I remember happily flying between Northern and Southern California on PSA. And being able to take pocketknives and whatever else I wanted onto the plane without being felt up or treated like a criminal.

Notice how often she uses the word “ensure.” As though these gun-grabbing laws are going to ensure anyone’s safety. Isn’t ensure a drink?

Di Fi has always had a hard on to get rid of all guns...of course she and hubby have armed body guards.

Her so called federal law already exists at the local and state levels....if you have a restraining order against an individual you can request that their guns be removed.
