Earlier this month, Courtney Willie tried to break up with 22-year-old Dekota Harvey. "I didn't want the abuse," Willie said. "The mental instability of him. And I didn't want him continuing the abuse of my friends as well." Harvey shot Willie in the leg and shot and killed Willie's new girlfriend, 20-year-old Elizabeth "Alexis" Dawson. Willie said she wasn't surprised by Harvey's actions because he'd had suicidal thoughts and access to guns. The new bill would aim to prevent these incidents.

"They're laws that when done properly, balance a gun owners rights with the need to protect people and the public," said bill sponsor, Democratic senator of District 4, Greg Leding.
"We know of no other enumerated constitutional right whose core protection has been subjected to a freestanding 'interest-balancing' approach. The very enumeration of the right takes out of the hands of government ... the power to decide on a case-by-case basis whether the right is really worth insisting upon. . . The Second Amendment is no different. Like the First, it is the very product of an interest-balancing by the people[.]" - D.C. v. Heller (2008)
Probable cause can only issue based upon a CRIME having been committed. These laws obviate that principle. |
