So, woman gets a handgun because she’s divorcing a psycho. Psycho calls the butterfly net brigade claiming she’s suicidal. They break out the SWAT and take away woman’s arsenal of S&W J-frame and box of JHP. Psycho then walks through TRO and kills woman. Bravo!
Under California’s 5150 program, people can already disarm others by calling the cops on them. This new law means people now have a seperate option of taking it to a judge instead. But hey, the legistators “did something”!
This is totally not going to be abused by angry ex-girlfriends and wives during nasty divorces. Nope, not at all. And of course the guns that have been taken away “temporarily” won’t walk off and end up in the personal collections of the police officers that confiscated the guns. Nope, that $2,500 Wilson Combat 1911 will be waiting to be returned to it’s rightful owner and won’t end up in some police officer’s closet.
J, most cops aren’t gun people and wouldn’t have any idea of the difference between a Taurus 1911 and a Wilson. The problem is the very real possibility of this law being used for revenge as others have mentioned.

Neighbors informing on neighbors, family informing on family. Where have we seen that before?
