GVROs - what are the opinions out there?

[task0778]

Seems like a reasonable idea to me, obviously not THE solution but it could reduce the number of mass shootings. Even if the temporary restraining order is denied, schools and workplaces and wherever else can be notified that the individual is thought to be somewhat dangerous.

Also called ERPO - extreme risk protection orders.


5 states have some version of them -- including INDIANA.


A family member or law enforcement of cer offers a civil court proof of: a history, pattern, or recent threats or acts of violence; dangerous past behavior with rearms; substance abuse; or recent rearms or ammunition acquisition. These factors are considered when a judge issues an ERPO. This process protects the legal rights of the at-risk individual.

A judge can then issue a temporary order (typically for 3 weeks) preventing the individual in crisis from purchasing a rearm, and allowing law enforcement to temporarily hold their rearms for safekeeping. At a subsequent hearing, the order can be extended for a year given additional evidence that the individual in crisis continues to be a threat to themselves or others. The individual is also granted time to present evidence in their defense.

The GVRO is consistent with and recognizes both the inherent right of self-defense and the inherent right of due process. It is not collective punishment. It is precisely targeted.

Sounds good to me!

I think this could be a good idea. It could get bipartisan support, and also potentially could have prevented the Parkland attack.
