Report: Giffords,
Kelly's Gun Control Group Now Pushing Temporary Gun Confiscation
by AWR Hawkins 15 Aug 2014
Americans for Responsible
Solutions--the group formed by gun control proponents former Arizona
Congresswoman Gabby Giffords and her husband
Mark Kelly--has issued a new report listing
five ideas "to reduce gun violence." Four of the five revolve around
temporary gun confiscation or gun bans.
The report was issued in conjunction with the Law Center to
Prevent Gun Violence.
According
to the Arizona Republic, Giffords and her husband found the
"rational middle ground" in the new report.
The report begins with the fairly innocuous idea of to
removing "loopholes" where they exist between states and the federal
government regarding information on the mentally ill. But after that, the focus
turns to confiscation:
Idea Two: "Authorize law enforcement to remove access
to guns, with court oversight and plenty of protections to prevent abuse of
this authority." The owner of the guns would "only" get them
back once he or she was "no longer a danger to themselves or others."
Idea Three: "Require schools, including colleges and
universities, to report violent or suicidal people to a court or administrating
agency." These people would also have their firearms confiscated, but
"could regain their firearms access...after a certain period of
time."
Idea Four: "Allow courts to issue 'Gun Violence
Restraining Orders.'" These result in temporary gun confiscation.
Idea Five: "Temporarily ban those who have been
involuntarily hospitalized from purchasing or possessing firearms."
Five ideas, four of which deal with gun confiscation or gun bans.
Is this really the "rational middle ground"?
