Gun Violence Restraining Order Act Goes Into Effect Americans throughout the country are being forced to defend their second amendment rights, as our president desperately tries to encourage measures that will make firearms more difficult to obtain. Were already seeing legislation being introduced by state governments. California, for example, brought in the new year with a gun law that gives the state the right to seize legally-owned weapons for up to three weeks if you are deemed a threateven just by word of mouth. Under the Gun Violence Restraining Order act, a judge can sign off on a search and seizure order that allows police to come into your home and take your guns if anyone who knows you expresses concerns. If the police do arrive at your doorstep, you will be handed this order: To the restrained person: This order is valid until the expiration date and time noted above. You are required to surrender all firearms and ammunition that you own or possess in accordance with Section 18120 of the Penal Code and you may not have in your custody or control, own, purchase, possess, or receive, or attempt to purchase or receive a firearm or ammunition, while this order is in effect. A hearing will be held on the date and at the time noted above to determine if a more permanent gun violence restraining order should be issued. Failure to appear at that hearing may result in a court making an order against you that is valid for a year. You may seek the advice of an attorney as to any matter connected with the order. The attorney should be consulted promptly so that the attorney may assist you in any matter connected with the order. What do you think? Is this a blatant violation of our Second Amendment rights? Do we need to take a stand before matters get worse?
