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. |

TO REMEMBER |
| "And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? [...] The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!" —Alexander Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago (Chapter 1 "Arrest") |
