It would be interesting to hear the reason why.
Rory Coyne, who bought his first gun over the weekend, had a different view.
"Well if a person is not right in the head they shouldn't have a gun — if they re sick in the head," he said.
Yep me too! This is type of yahoo who says he supports the 2A but then ask why does any body need a military grade machine gun or a 30rnd clip (sic on purpose).This part of the article made me cringe:
My thoughts exactly. I'm guessing it was a "he said she said" situation and she wasn't credible, but that puts a magnifying glass on the problem with Red Flag laws. Anyone willing to commit perjury, which is many people and it rarely comes with any negative consequences, can do terrible harm.
A restraining order requires judicial review and a legal action. Isn't that grounds for having your guns confiscated in Oregon?IIRC, they were dating, not living together?
IF guy has alcohol problems (I've never known MJ to make people violent), and they are dating, vs living together, she can just stay the F away from him... problem solved. Get a damn restraining order if he starts coming around (yeah, I know), charge him with stalking if it gets too bad, but leave his friggin guns alone unless he has a proven record of violence such as domestic assault!!!

red flag laws are BS. people lie.
I'm having trouble sorting it out with the usual google searches but it appears that a restraining order doesn't necessarily result in confiscation. However, what I'm reading about Oregons' red flag law, it appears it's a simple step to have a judge sign off on confiscation if there is a suspicion that the person may perform a violent act.
