A Risk Protection Order issued by a judge for law enforcement to seize someone’s firearms can be based on anyone’s report that anyone else might be a threat or risk to themselves or anyone else. It is not just based on perceived mental proble,ms but can be based on someone’s false interpretation, vindictiveness, or anger at someone else.
The person whose firearms are seized must then prove in a hearing that they are not a risk or a threat in order to get their firearms back.
Furthermore, the accused will most likely have to hire an attorney at their own expense and, if proven not a risk or threat, will have to go through a lengthy bureaucratic process to retrieve their firearms. |

One more way for disgruntled wives to retaliate against their husband.
Don't think for a minute that this won't happen. |

These most definitely are people who pose a risk to other. But if they pose such a risk, we get to put them away, not just take their guns.
If there's not evidence that they pose such a risk, we've no business I taking their guns. |
