Some people here introduced and tried to push this type of law on us in NC during the last session.

The essence of these laws is that they eliminate the concept of "due process" to accelerate the process of disarming individuals. They are literally considered guilty until they can prove their innocence.

This is, in effect, the modern version of the Salem Witch Trials... Make an accusation, disarm the individual and then let them fight and spend their resources to re-establish their rights.

It is just the latest of the hundreds of anti-gun-owner strategies that are being simultaneously pursued by people that are scared of guns and want to eliminate them from our nation.

We actively resisted the attempts to pass these laws here, and they are sure to be reintroduced in the upcoming legislative session.

There are adequate existing laws in every state which allow for disarming a dangerous person (whether violent for mental issues, or other reasons) after following due process. This already includes confiscation triggered by protective risk orders (as established by Federal law 30 years ago).
