This video from CRPA TV discusses Assembly Bill 1753 in California, which proposes expanding the scope of restraining orders to include the confiscation of ammunition in addition to firearms. Rick Travis, Legislative Director for CRPA, explains how this bill builds upon existing Gun Violence Restraining Orders (GVROs), arguing that such expansions lack demonstrated public safety benefits and can be abused, leading to the unconstitutional removal of firearms and ammunition from law-abiding citizens. The discussion also touches on the potential for illegal search and seizure issues related to the 'plain sight' discovery of firearms and ammunition.

This video, presented by TheYankeeMarshal, discusses the effectiveness and potential dangers of restraining orders, particularly for women seeking protection. The speaker, drawing on experience implied by a background in Child Protective Services, argues that while restraining orders serve as legal documentation of a threat, they can provide a false sense of security, potentially leading individuals to neglect more robust self-defense measures. He advocates for women to consider firearm ownership as a more tangible form of protection, while also suggesting that legal waiting periods for firearm purchases should be waived for individuals under a restraining order.

This video from TheYankeeMarshal critically examines the effectiveness of restraining orders for self-defense, arguing they offer a false sense of security. The speaker, an experienced individual with visible expertise in firearms, contrasts legal protections with the reality of physical threats, emphasizing that true safety requires a means to physically defend oneself rather than relying solely on legal documents. The content highlights potential dangers of restraining orders escalating situations and the delays often encountered with police intervention.

This video from CRPA TV discusses the overregulation of the Concealed Carry Weapon (CCW) permit process, highlighting how bureaucratic red tape, including character references, psych reviews, and high costs, unnecessarily burdens applicants. An expert speaker suggests a Certificate of Eligibility (COE) system as a more efficient solution for revoking permits from individuals subject to orders prohibiting firearm possession.

This video discusses how restraining orders, particularly those issued without proper notification or opportunity for the accused to be heard, can impact an individual's ability to obtain or retain a Concealed Carry Weapon (CCW) permit. It highlights the historical lack of due process in restraining order proceedings and the potential for strategic abuse, while also acknowledging recent legislative efforts to address these issues.

This video from CRPA TV, featuring Chuck Michelle, discusses California's AB 1078, focusing on new CCW restrictions, the impact of restraining orders on firearm ownership, and the expansion of the 'three guns a month' rule. It highlights potential due process issues, legal challenges to the new regulations, and the ongoing fight against what is perceived as anti-Second Amendment legislation in California. The discussion emphasizes the complexities and potential abuses within the current legal framework for firearm ownership and concealed carry permits.

This video discusses the case of Boston Fire Lieutenant Joshua Thompson, who faces over 40 criminal charges, including unconstitutional gun law violations, following a domestic incident and restraining order. The speaker argues that Massachusetts' gun laws are unconstitutional and are being used to make an example of individuals exercising their Second Amendment rights. The case highlights the tension between protective orders and due process, and the intersection of mental health with weapon possession.

This video from Washington Gun Law TV details four proposed bills in California aimed at disarming citizens. Assembly Bill 1127 seeks to ban handguns convertible by illegal devices, predominantly impacting Glocks and clones. Assembly Bill 1078 proposes a '3 in 30' firearm purchase limit and expands permit denial criteria. Senate Bill 704 would require background checks for barrel purchases, and Assembly Bill 1263 criminalizes possession and transmission of digital blueprints for 3D-printed firearms. The video urges California residents to contact their legislators and supports organizations like the California Rifle and Pistol Association and Gun Owners of America.

The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled that banning gun ownership for individuals under domestic violence restraining orders is constitutional, overturning a previous decision. This ruling, influenced by the Supreme Court's decision in US v. Rahimi, acknowledges that accused domestic abusers pose a threat justifying firearm restrictions. However, the court also noted potential issues with mutual restraining orders that could unfairly penalize victims.

This video discusses a proposed New York bill that would mandate police to seize firearms during domestic disturbance calls, even without a warrant, for a minimum of 5 days. The bill, potentially a reintroduction of Senate Bill S202, is criticized for its lack of due process and potential for indefinite confiscation, drawing parallels to issues with the state's existing Red Flag law where gun owners face significant legal costs to retrieve their property. The speaker argues this is not gun safety but an infringement on constitutional rights.

The US Supreme Court upheld an 8-1 decision in United States v. Rahimi, affirming a federal law that prohibits individuals subject to domestic violence protective orders from possessing firearms. This ruling clarifies the application of the Second Amendment in relation to domestic abuse, emphasizing that individuals posing a threat can be disarmed. The decision has significant implications for gun safety regulations and the protection of domestic violence survivors, while also influencing ongoing litigation regarding concealed carry laws in states like New York.

This video discusses new gun control bills signed into law by Governor Newsom following the legislative session. Rick Travis, Director of Legislation for CRPA, breaks down approximately 15 bills, categorizing them into firearm destruction, funding for gun violence prevention programs, and expansions of restraining/protective orders. The discussion highlights how many bills were significantly amended down from their original proposals due to advocacy efforts, with some being technical changes rather than substantial new restrictions. The CRPA emphasizes their success in defeating numerous more aggressive bills related to confiscation, storage, and taxation.
