Democratic Gov. [Gavin Newsom] signed 15 gun-related bills into law Friday, tightening the state’s already-stringent [Second Amendment](strong textfreedoms/second-amendment) restrictions.
One of the bills, which expands a so-called “red flag” law to allow co-workers, employers and educators to seek gun violence restraining orders against firearms owners they fear are a danger to themselves and others, was vetoed twice by Newsom’s predecessor, Jerry Brown.
How ■■■■■■ up is this bill if Governor Moonbeam vetoed it, twice.
The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) opposed the bill, saying it “poses a significant threat to civil liberties” because a restraining order can be sought before a gun owner has an opportunity to dispute the request.
Well, well.
Additionally, those making a request under the new law may “lack the relationship or skills required to make an appropriate assessment,” the ACLU said.
Hey can I flag someone because their pants aren’t held up at their waste? I feel like those people are dangerous and may be criminals or belong to a gang. The police should pay them a visit and search their homes for guns, just to be safe.
If you are their immediate family, employer, coworker or an employee or teacher of a school they attend and are willing to sign a petition under oath then yes, knock yourself out. I’m guessing none of these apply…
I have an idea… Let’s try your theory… Porfirio Paz is a known antifa leader in California. File a red flag petition and let’s see how it goes… Come on, what’s stopping you?
