Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker on Tuesday signed a bill that will allow for the temporary removal of guns from people considered a danger to themselves or others. The new law lets a relative or someone else with close ties to a legal gun owner petition a court for a 12-month extreme risk protection order if the individual is exhibiting dangerous or unstable behavior. |

"The individual can appeal the decision."
That does not satisfy due process. An adversarial hearing BEFORE a person's rights may be suspended is commanded by the 5th, 6th and 14th Amendments.
Merely providing an appeal after an ex parte hearing does not vitiate the unconstitutionality of this nonsense. |
