fxdpntc Posted May 8, 2019 at 12:09 AM Share Posted May 8, 2019 at 12:09 AM The California Assembly on Monday advanced a bill to add school faculty, employers and co-workers to the list of people who can ask a judge to take away someones guns. The measure, AB 61, passed the Assembly in a Democrat-heavy 54-16 vote and now heads to the state Senate. It would greatly expand who can file for a Gun Violence Restraining Order in the state under Californias so-called red flag law. Adopted in 2014, the current law allows the seizure of firearms for up to 21 days from an otherwise legal gun owner who is believed to pose a significant danger. This initial order could be extended for as long as a year if the situation warrants while filing a false petition is a misdemeanor offense. As it stands, just law enforcement and immediate family can seek such an order. AB 61 would expand this to include school employees such as guidance counselors and teachers as well as the employers and co-workers of a subject. Second Amendment groups such as the Firearms Policy Coalition and Gun Owners of California, who have long felt the orders were a dangerous pathway to gun confiscation without delivering any promise of treatment for someone in legitimate crisis, are opposed to the expansion. https://www.guns.com/news/2019/05/07/ca-advances-bill-to-allow-bosses-co-workers-to-file-gun-seizure-orders?fbclid=IwAR34nVtuEJ3TmBhutjtQeM5xG63AMFJJhh2vwGV_mWns1LHtk5Cy6rPSO20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveTA84 Posted May 8, 2019 at 12:15 AM Share Posted May 8, 2019 at 12:15 AM fine. Let them. Then maybe some CA people in the house/Senate that disagree with them can “red flag” the people that voted yes on this bill. They’re Co-workers after all...........

357 Posted May 8, 2019 at 01:36 AM Share Posted May 8, 2019 at 01:36 AM slippery....They think they can disarm everyone so this is just another step in their long term plan. Red flag laws are confiscation schemes and have nothing to do with safety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
