Rep. Debbie Dingell to Introduce Gun Confiscation Legislation

Rep. Debbie Dingell (D-MI) used an April 2 Fox News Liveappearance to announce that she is preparing to introduce legislation to create a federal law allowing firearm confiscation orders.

Such laws, generally referred to as Extreme Risk Protection Orders, are already in place in California, Indiana, Oregon, and other states, and Dingell believes the ability to seize firearms is crucial for pubic safety.

During live broadcast Dingell said, “Rep. Fred Upton (R) and I are looking at introducing … legislation … at the national level.” She added, “I grew up in a home where a man shouldn’t have had access to a gun, and I remember some very frightening moments, and there was ability to deal with it. A family who knows that someone in their family could be a danger to themselves or to others needs to have tool that they can take that gun away.”

Dingell stressed that seizure of firearms must occur in a way that protects due process, but she did not explain how such protection is possible. In California an order to take guns can be issued without the gun owner even knowing. And in Indiana, the state on which Dingell is basing her federal legislation, individuals who have their guns seized have approximately 14 days to go to court to “make a case” to get them back.

She ever hear of this thing called the Bill of Rights. Due Process, and those words "Shall not be infringed"?
Some poor bastard will get his guns taken away, and will have to spend a ton of money to get this law struck down.

Totally unacceptable. Look at history for your answer. we HAD mental incarcerations after several episodes that were life threatening, but no more. We had this that would keep a patient away from their legally owned firearms until real doctors could deem the person okay or not okay to re-enter society and the rules to live under.

It's in the BOOKS! but the Liberals took that away, along with keeping students unarrestable to keep the crime rate down in our schools, and allowed these whacks with no religious education whatsoever buy all the firearms and ammunition they want at any given time, and who is to blame for this?

SHE doesn't plan on doing ANY confiscations.
She will send someone else to die on someone's front step (if they get that close).
These whiny sissy losers are going to start another revolution.
Do they really think they can just order Americans to surrender 50 million rifles??

LOL.

Maybe we won't be using much rope after all.....
