Beginning January 1, police in California may confiscate firearms from gun owners thought to be a danger to themselves or others without giving the owner any notice.
This is the result of the implementation of "gun violence restraining orders" (GVROs), which go into effect New Year's Day.
According to KPCC, GVROs "could be issued without prior knowledge of the person. In other words, a judge could issue the order without ever hearing from the person in question, if there are reasonable grounds to believe the person is a threat based on accounts from the family and police." And since the order can be issued without the gun owner even being present to defend him or herself, confiscation can commence without any notice to the gun owner once the order is issued.......
Amazing. So, Jane Doe decides to get her own back on her boy friend John Doe, for having been dumped. She decides to 'inform the authorities' that he is mentally unstable, after which any guns he owns can suddenly be seized. No due process?! This seems very much to be a mechanism of very convenient 'gun control', taken to an extreme, with plenty of scope for abuse.... almost Orwellian.
