Bill
AB1014 passed on Saturday. This bill was
in response to the Isla Vista shooting, and creates a TRO system (akin for that
in place for stalking and domestic violence), that allows someone (family, law
enforcement, or other) to seek a TRO from a judge, based on a clear and
convincing evidence standard, that can temporarily deprive someone of
guns. Right now, in California, if a
family member believes that someone – who has access to a gun – poses a threat
to themselves or others, there is no mechanism for the guns to be temporarily
removed. AB1014 passed on Saturday. Unless vetoed, it will go into effect on Jan.
1, 2016.
