In the six years I’ve served in the Legislature, our nation has endured 31 mass shootings, five of which happened in California. As tragic as mass shootings are, they don’t account for the nearly 3,000 Californians who die every year from gunfire related to street and domestic violence, or suicides.
Following the tragedy at Sandy Hook, I had the opportunity to work with a wide-ranging group of academics, practitioners and advocates in the fields of mental health, public health and gun violence prevention. I was surprised by what I learned. First, I learned of leading public health data that attribute mental illness to only about 4 percent of the violence perpetrated against others. Second, the research shows individuals with mental illness are far more likely to be victims than perpetrators of violence.
Most importantly, I learned that the most important factors indicating that someone may be dangerous to themselves or others are signs of previous acts of violence, domestic violence, drug abuse and alcohol abuse.

Using her logic, friends and family ought to be able to get a restraining order prohibiting a pregnant family member from killing her child with abortion.
If a person has in his/her mind that they are going to harm you,No restraining order in the world is going to stop them .
People have to wise up .
If this is true, why do all of the liberal mass murderers continue to claim insanity? Hmmmm? I don't know where this ditzy loon is getting her "information" but she is definitely clueless. Or it could be drugs.
This is one of those guilty until proven innocent OOP’s.
The proposal is to confiscate their guns.
She represents Berkeley.
Same thing applies.It just may make it more difficult to get a hand gun.So the perp will use a knife or ax instead.
How many people will she deprive of hands and feet, which kill way more people than guns?
Notice how now it is always “gunfire”, someone doesn’t put a gun to their head and pull the trigger, they die now as the result of “gunfire”.
I can’t see the Feds jumping on this bandwagon. Nope..../s
TROs are already abused in divorce cases, I can imagine how they could be abused if you extend it to anyone.
Typical Bee-brain, DemDope, petty little punk scared to take on gangs. Go after law abiding citizens, watch them, find a way to make it a crime for them to own a gun. We have laws regarding mental problems and guns already! (I believe).
This will pass in CA, then other blue states will follow.
Oh yeah THAT gal. Such a sterling reputation too:

I bet she wouldn’t support regulating or banning drugs and alcohol which killed more people than guns before Obama was elected (probably still do by far)...
Another liberal idiot.
