I think we should have 10 or 15 judges that run the country.
Or maybe more, depending on the "deeming" workload...

Hundreds of gun owners in Florida have been ordered to give up their guns under a new law that took effect after the deadly Parkland shooting in February, according to a report published Monday.
The Risk Protection Order, signed by Florida Gov. Rick Scott just three weeks after a gunman killed 17 people at Stoneman Douglas, aims to temporarily remove weapons from gun owners who have been deemed by a judge to possibly be a threat to themselves or others.
Roughly 200 firearms have been confiscated in the state since the law was enacted, Sgt. Jason Schmittendorf, of the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office, told WFTS-TV. "Around 30,000 rounds of ammunition" were also taken, he said.
A five-person team in the county that's worked solely on the risk protection law reportedly has filed 64 risk protection petitions in court. Broward County, according to the news outlet, has filed 88 risk protection petitions since March.

I don't know but I doubt it.
People with weapons were in compliance with the law before the "law" was passed.
Now they're out of compliance once the new "law" passes.
Previously legal possessions are now confiscated under new "law" and it doesn't appear there's compensation for those possessions being confiscated, just a lengthy and expensive court process to get them back.
How is this "law" Constitutional?
Heller VS.
Unless these are all restraining orders. And unless you have no money to fight it.
Better, really....to buy yourself a big damn safe. Then lose all your weapons. Then lose the combination to your safe.
Yeah.....dirty exgirlfriends are always going to be able to take your guns away for a year or two minimum....
Unless, you had a canoeing accident.
It’s essentially an extension to the Domestic Violence Restraining Order.
With that....it was someone you used to bang that could take your guns away.
Florida extended that to family members.
Unsure whether you bang them or not, that is your business
Bingo! This oughtta be called the "Ain't ex-Wives and ex-Girlfriends a bitch!" law.
Just the mere thought on their part that something might happen triggers a weapons seizure?
That can't be right or Constitutional.
A ninth grade civics class could tell anyone that.
Or it used to be able to, anyway.

"...unless you had a canoeing accident..."
You shut up. I never said that.
I was hacked.
Couldn't remember the term from my ninth or tenth grade civics class. Too long ago and I'm getting ready to try and go back to sleep after waking up an hour ago. Too damn' early.
Thanks for your post, I can stop my google search for it now and hopefully rest easy. :-)
Does Feldwebel Schmittendor work for Sturmbannführer und
Kriminalrat Hochstetter?

I thought we didn’t have ex post facto laws. Maybe I was wrong. 👎 It may not be constitutional, but when was the last time libtards and RINOs paid any attention to the constitution?
“...200 firearms confiscated...”
Cold dead hands, indeed.
That sounds Russian.
Grrrr
I was hacked.
There are “other ways” to have a canoeing 🛶 accident. 👍😁
Holy s..t !!!
The #ing negligent sheriff and school super should be the ones suffering the consequences...
Ok, now I’m scared. I need an adult.
German actually.
Yeah...that was why it was funny.
Dammit...you can’t explain the joke...then it’s not funny.
Here in Washington state, we have a recently enacted “Do Not Sell A Gun To Me” list.
People who are high risk for suicide or reckless behavior voluntarily put their own names on this list to prevent themselves from making an impulsive, and possibly fatal, gun purchase.
I laughed at first, but now I think it may be a good idea that will save some lives.
