Hawkins: Trump White House Declares Support for Gun Confiscation Orders

The Trump White House released policy papers Monday declaring full support for California-style firearm confiscation orders. Breitbart News has a copy of the release and it urges states to adopt Extreme Risk Protection Orders (ERPOs). Such orders allow firearms to be confiscated with a judge’s approval.

The White House suggests that ERPOs “allow law enforcement, with approval from a court, to remove firearms from individuals who are a demonstrated threat to themselves or others and temporarily to prevent individuals from purchasing new firearms.” They stressed that the orders “should be carefully tailored to ensure the due process rights of law-abiding citizens are protected.”

California adopted similar gun confiscation laws in 2015 and Southern California Public Radio reports that 190 orders requiring confiscation were issued 2016-2017 alone.

Here we go again, queue the never-Trumpers. I’ll just say it again: Watch what Trump does, not what he says. It’s all about the end game.

I go with this thought process when it comes to President Trump every time.

Jim Rob confirmed the post (his edit was simply to use actual text from the linked article).

Good catch.

If I was a law enforcement office, I’d tell those commie, politician bastards in Congress, “You want to confiscate those guns? YOU go to the homes and YOU confiscate them”.

[FlingWingFlyer]

They need to call this, The Camel’s Nose Gun Confiscation Act. I can’t believe PRESIDENT Trump is allowing a little, snotty-nosed 17 year old Hogg push him around. Whodda thunk! I thought he was more of a man than that.

Breathless Breitbart causing more stink yet again....ztrump can suggest that states do as they will....so what?

If you are a nut you shouldn’t be armed.

I understood POTUS to be talking about what they already do according to an interview with a retired LEO. He said if they go to a house, for example because of a domestic abuse call, and the wife says she’s scared because her husband has a gun, he said they have to take the gun or guns. They don’t have a warrant to do so at the time but they can’t leave them there.

While it sounds believable the Breitbart author gives no source for this claim and no one else is reporting it.

Since he says they ‘released’ the papers Breitbart should supply copies of them.

Here is the bill:

[Steve Van Doorn]

It is NOT in the federal bill.

The NRA is suggesting to add funding for states to provide "Risk protection Orders" This is the confiscation orders by a judge without any kind of conviction.
The NRA is not our friends.

When did Breitbart become an unreliable source?

Noble, it's the internet. You trust everything ?

False dichotomy; one can trust certain Internet sources (e.g., Breitbart, which from my observation has long been trusted on FR) without trusting all Internet sources.

[NobleFree]

When did Breitbart become an unreliable source?

Several years ago.

Seems to me I've seen Breitbart cited on FR as reliable, without rebuttal, within the past year. What made you decide several years ago that they were an unreliable source?

So Trump trusts FISA type courts?
