“Take the guns first, go through due process second,” Trump said.

By definition, if you "take the gun first" you have abandoned due process - and once you have abandoned it you cannot "un-abandon" it. When a particular act by the government violates due process, then where that particular act is concerned due process cannot be retroactively reinstated. The victim may be able to be compensated, but the violation of the particular violation of due process will still have occurred.

Exactly. Why would government bother with due process once they are allowed to violate it at will.

Then where does that all stop.

Yep, this is the opposite of due process.

If the quote is accurate, I expect DT to walk it back post haste.

That’s right. And we’re talking about violation of due process on a mass scale.

Glad I kept reading this thread. You said that far better than I almost did.

Actually, that is CURRENT LAW. IN EVERY STATE.

If someone files for a protective order.

It will be granted.

Then the police will come and take your guns.

THEN you get your opportunity to be heard.
