Curtis has stated that he is a strong defender of the Second Amendment, but he also believes more should be done to keep firearms out of the hands of violent individuals and the mentally ill.
This bill, Curtis said, would put in place processes to prevent dangerous individuals from obtaining or possessing a firearm.
Other representatives weighed in on the bill, addressing topics such as allowing law enforcement to take action when a person is considered dangerous and improving criminal background checks. |

Ex parte orders facially violate the 5th, 6th and 14th Amendment due process commands. This is the stripping of a fundamental right without being able to confront and cross examine witnesses, and to present exculpatory rebuttal evidence. It is the very essence of Prior Restraint.
I hope a case reaches the SCOTUS and enough of the justices have their heads on straight to strike down this unconstitutional nonsense. |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
No kingdom can be secured otherwise than by arming the people. The possession of arms is the distinction between a freeman and a slave. He, who has nothing, and who himself belongs to another, must be defended by him, whose property he is, and needs no arms. But he, who thinks he is his own master, and has what he can call his own, ought to have arms to defend himself, and what he possesses; else he lives precariously, and at discretion. James Burgh, Political Disquisitions: Or, an Enquiry into Public Errors, Defects, and Abuses [London, 1774-1775]. |
