Aug 27 (Reuters) - A bill allowing family members to ask a judge to order firearms removed from people likely to commit gun violence advanced in California on Wednesday, one of several gun control measures up for votes in the last week of the state's legislative session. The measure was introduced after police near Santa Barbara said they were unable to confiscate weapons from a man who later went on a rampage and killed six people, despite concern from his family that he was in poor mental health and might become violent. The bill passed the senate 23-8. It passed the assembly once, but now goes back for a vote on amendments before heading to Democratic Governor Jerry Brown. If Brown, who has steered a centrist course on gun control legislation, signs the bill, California would be the first U.S. state to enact such a law. "Nothing can bring back the life of my son, but there are common-sense solutions that can help ensure other loved ones aren't killed by preventable gun violence," said Richard Martinez, whose son, Christopher Ross Michaels-Martinez, was killed by 22-year-old Elliott Rodger in the rampage in Isla Vista in May. "This bill will save lives and spare other families from suffering the anguish we experience each day." The bill, sponsored by Assemblymembers Nancy Skinner and Das Williams, creates a so-called gun violence restraining order in the court system. Under it, immediate family members and law enforcement agencies could petition a judge to order guns temporarily removed from certain individuals. The restraining order would last 21 days, and could extend it up to a year, after a notice and a hearing. The bill has wide support from law enforcement agencies, and is based on an existing law that temporarily blocks people with domestic violence restraining orders from owning a gun. "If it can save one life, one family from that agony, it will be worth it," state senator Hannah-Beth Jackson, a Democrat, said during debate. . . . Joaquin Palomino
Not to mention that they had guns that were stolen/illegal, and any ban will not remove them from the streets (this is the problem that asshat fraudcurrents has failed to offer a solution for over and over again).
Are they going to ban knives and cars too? You know, since he stabbed people and ran them down in his BMW.
You moonbats are hilarious. Not one of you has a solution for guns that would work. NOT a single ONE of you.
WASHINGTON -- Less than two days after a 9-year-old girl in Arizona accidentally shot and killed a gun range instructor who was showing her how to fire an Uzi, the National Rifle Association on Wednesday touted new ways for children to "have fun" at shooting ranges. The nation's largest gun lobby posted a tweet Wednesday afternoon to its NRA Women account that read "7 Ways Children Can Have Fun at the Shooting Range." The tweet included a link to an article with the same title published on the website of Women's Outdoor News. A little over an hour after posting it, NRA Women deleted the tweet without explanation. The Arizona shooting has prompted a heated national debate over what guns are safe for use by minors, even under supervision. Experts agree that an Uzi was the wrong choice for a 9-year-old girl. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/08/27/nra-children-gun-range_n_5725674.html?utm_hp_ref=politics
There's a process provided in the Constitution to do just that, knock yourself out and let me know how that works for you. Oh! I remember, your ilk doesn't give a rat's ass about the Constitution.
Right. That's what you always say. But you've never been able to propose how you would get rid of the millions of illegal guns that are out there. Any time you want to propose something, feel free so we can discuss. But it's been nothing but crickets from you on it. That, and the same parroting of "ban guns! Wrrrraack! Ban guns!"
