The Pause for Safety Act would encourage states to take the following steps to help prevent gun violence: One, ensure that families and others can go to court to seek a gun violence prevention order to temporarily stop someone close to them who poses a threat to himself, herself or others from purchasing a firearm. Two, ensure that a court can issue a gun violence prevention warrant that would allow law enforcement to take temporary possession of firearms that are in an individual’s possession if the court determines that the individual poses a threat to himself, herself or others. Three, ensure that law enforcement makes full use of all existing state and local gun databases when assessing a tip, warning or request from a concerned family member or other close associate.
The measure would create a new grant program – the Pause for Safety Grant Program – to help support these efforts. States that take action to enact these preventive measures would be eligible for the grants to provide resources for courts and law enforcement as they implement these measures.

Disgusting.
Using divisiveness, fear, paranoia.
Perfect ingredients for a progressive agenda!
And let's not forget the "Ghost" calls that will be fabricated to push even more.

Most of those ghost calls are from cops.
I know cops that carry throwaway phones under fake names so they can make fake calls.
This allows them probable cause to do many things.

Seems like it is time for me to move.
Any good locations with employment?

This is how I think gun ownership is being reduced.
In order to obtain a legal firearm one must pass a background check. I made this after reading "Now is the Time: The Presidents Plan to Reduce Gun Violence" back in April of 2013. All the gears (with the exception of 'The Brain Initiative') correlate to points made in the PDF. I recommend reading it if you haven't already.
You can download the PDF from this link to whitehouse.gov
Gun control isn't them showing up at all our doors one night demanding our weapons, rather the slow change of laws governing who can and who can't own a weapon.

In my state it is actually difficult to obtain an injunction against someone, family or not. You have to have several officially documented threatening/violent incidents before a judge will even hear your case.
Even then I have seen a good percentage denied.
What does this law change? How does it differ from what is on the books now?
