NRA and Trump Agree That Gun Owners Who Threaten Harm Should Suspend Gun Rights

The NRA has announced support for police to enter a citizen’s home and confiscate firearms, upon issuance of a court order, if they threaten violence to themselves or others.
The Trump White House is pushing similar orders, calling them Extreme Risk Protection Orders. Extreme Risk Protection Orders will allow families and law enforcement to petition a court to temporarily suspend a person’s access to firearms if there is documented evidence that an individual is threatening harm to themselves or others.
NRA's Chris Cox said, “We need to stop dangerous people before they act, so Congress should provide funding for states to adopt risk protection orders. This can help prevent violent behavior before it turns into a tragedy. These laws allow a court to intervene and temporarily remove firearms when a person threatens violence to themselves or others.”
Good.
