A new bill introduced in Connecticut changes state law so that guns are confiscated from the subject of a protective order the moment the request for the order is filed rather than waiting until the accused has an opportunity to have his or her case heard by a judge.
The measure is supported by state senator Mae Flexer (D-Killingly), who says, "The minute a woman comes forward and asks for a temporary restraining order is the most dangerous moment of her life."
Opponents of the measure point out that the request for a protective order on the accusation of criminal behavior and the issuance of said order in light of a judge's decision are two different things. They argue that it completely flips the scales, forcing gun owners into a position of being guilty until proven innocent. .......
This has a ring to it like California's new approach to 'gun control' discussed last December. Here is another potential dismissal of due process, concerning protection orders, which it might be pointed out can sometimes be imposed from false information. This is yet more draconian abuse of the Second Amendment.
