Once they take them away, you’ll never get them back.
I recall reading about this. My recollection is that this was going to pass. Second Amendment supporters simply did not have the votes to stop it.
What they were attempting to modify was the requirement that the guns be turned over to law enforcement, instead, they could be held by a third party until the dispute was resolved.
I think that was one of the major things that was changed about the bill.
The article is nothing but a hit piece on the NRA and gun owners, IMHO.
They’d have to find all of mine first.
Bingo.
They trot right over and take your guns, killing your dog in the process.
UTTER B******T
When my ex-wife divorced me “without cause”, they took my SKS. There was no record of domestic violence, etc. Actually, they didn’t take it, I gave it to a friend for safekeeping and they called it good. It’s a reasonable precaution. You never know what a guy is going to do when someone rips his family apart.
I got it back the day the divorce was final.
Well, people often spend time in jail before they are actually convicted. It’s complicated. Fact is, it is clearly legal to reduce someone’s constitutional rights when they are accused of certain crimes. I lump this in with the jail thing.
I believe they take your ammo as well, as anything to do with operating and firing a weapon.
I’m not planning on misbehaven...but
there are a couple of reasons to have “Plan B” storage locations.
Especially the half that have ZERO paper trail....
Sorry, but "usually" you don't need anything but the words coming out of an Ex's mouth. This is bad law in every way. If someone is afraid of someone else's guns, they'd be better off arming themselves, not depending on jackbooted thugs to disarm someone else.
It's evil, it's totalitarian, and it's very un-American.
Guilty until proven Innocent.
Did we just travel back in time to the Soviet Union?
Yep, and then there’s the issue of these laws being applied retroactively against people who had restraining orders issued against them long before Frank Lautenberg even dreamed this up. The intentional blurring of the differences between misdemeanors and felonies is abhorrent as well. The only places you see that are where the federal government is interested in exerting power - war on drugs, anti-gun initiatives, etc.
I agree completely with what you are saying, I was just pointing out how they think it is suppose to work, not real life.
Before we start excoriating the NRA lets put the blame squarely where it belongs. That is the electorate of the state. If people in any state are stupid enough to allow the crazy gun legislation to pass and stand then whose fault is it? At some point you have to own it.
In general that's probably true, but in some jurisdictions they're just issuing them by default in every divorce proceeding, I hear. Often against just the husband in today's anti-male courts, but sometimes against both parties.
Agreed!
While I admit the NRA ain't perfect, before you judge it too harshly, you ought to consider how long we'd have been able to keep our weapons without it's support and leverage. They'd have been long gone, I suspect. Also, try not to judge them on the basis of observations made by screaming lib-tards like huff-po. They want you to turn on the NRA for a reason. Yes there are other, more pro-active progun groups. But few if any have the long standing clout and base of operations that NRA does. I've been one of their instructors for 25 years and I'm an Endowment Life Member so I would admit to a certain favorable bias, but the fact remains that they cause liberal heads to explode at the mere mention of their name (initials). That happens for a reason and it should count for something, I would think. So ease up on them, okay? Because you're cutting off your nose to spite your face.
