Euler Posted January 2, 2020 at 01:05 AM Share Posted January 2, 2020 at 01:05 AM The laws go into effect today in Colorado, Hawaii, and Nevada. In Colorado: Law enforcement, family, and household members can petition for a firearm restraining order. Dating partners, unless they're living together (i.e., in the household) are not included. Non-family household members must be in the household at least 6 months. People who have a child with the defendant are considered family even if they're not married. There is no expiration of status. Former spouses, roommates, etc., once included in the family or household are considered family or household forever. During the hearing, the defendant may request and be provided a public defender. However, the defendant does not have the right to cross-examine the petitioner. The judge considers only the case as presented by the petitioner. In Hawaii: Law enforcement, family, co-workers, or mental health professionals can petition for a firearm restraining order. In Nevada: Law enforcement and family can petition for a firearm restraining order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This must be a new wave to curtail the constitution. It’s like the communists are trying another route to take us down from the inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't WANT "fairness" or due process. The Left wants to disarm people by whatever means possible, regardless of itsConstitutional basis.
