    Oh HELL NO!

    As part of a "PPO" without a trial or conviction, they will demand that you give up your 2A rights to purchase or possess, and demand that you turn over what you do have to the LEOs or sell them. No chance to turn them over to a lawyer until the dispute gets cleared up.

    This is a terrible bill, but there is already a provision that allowed courts to deny someone their second amendment rights. What would happen if the respondent had guns is that they would be dragged back into court and penalized in some way.

    Regardless, the police shouldn’t be able to demand your firearms.
    Opinions and comments made by me on this forum should not be considered legal advice.

    So when I had Melissa read the actual bill, she stated almost immediately that there is a very serious due process issue with it the way it is currently written. It appears from reading the bill that you could be made to sell all your firearms, "ex-parte" and she says that doesn't pass constitutional muster. See the 14th amendment of the Constitution.

    Wasn't there a supreme court case not that long ago that dealt with a similar issue, and essentially said, ownership rights cannot be relinquished, and it is there for, the decision of the owner on how said firearms are to be disposed? In other words, they could not be forced to "sell to an FFL, or turn over to PD"... if they wanted to say, give their firearms away to friends and family, they could.

    Yes there was a case recently that addressed an issue like this. If I remember correctly in that case the police had seized his guns and were going to destroy them after his felony conviction. The US Supreme court ruled that they were his guns and could dispose of them in any legal manner that he wished. ....found it....Henderson v. United States
