Seems to me that #5 would be implemented by a lot of gun owners.

#2 will never survive first contact with the Supreme Court.

I thought they were recalling Governor Northam.

gives police and prosecutors the power to seize firearms based on the preponderance of evidence of a substantial risk of injury

I guess the Governor feels that the Lexington and Concord crisis needs to be re-examined, and any violators subject to prosecution. I wonder if he read about it for the first time recently, and it made him nervous.

“Preponderance of the evidence” simply means, “more likely than not.” That can mean just ever so slightly likely than not - and that often is applied by a judge when others would say that the circumstances are LESS likely than not.

#2 is wrong for the substantial risk order. The standard is not preponderance, it is clear and convincing.

“If the court finds by clear and convincing evidence that the person poses a substantial risk of personal injury to himself or to other individuals in the near future by such person’s possession or acquisition of a firearm, the court shall issue a substantial risk order.”

Doesn’t make it Constitutional, but C&C > than Preponderance.
