…found to be a harm to self and others…
While Trump was campaigning in 2024 he openly stated he would confiscate the guns first and then determine the decision to remove the gun(s) permanently. This was a statement by Trump when discussing the California law.
In his campaign he decided early on that it is better to disregard Due Process in removing guns from potentially dangerous people. Does everyone see the abuse within his statements? To begin, he was breeding fear of others not willing to end the perceived danger immediately as he was.
Donald Trump is on the record stating he would eliminate due process. Eliminating due process for Trump can be viewed as his dogma about his absolute power. While I can see the reason for acting quickly, it was his very own supporters of the gun lobby that OBSTRUCTED laws intended to protect citizens. It was his own supporters that protested the confiscation law.
So, while one case was looking as though the gun owner was having problems with mental health, there could be a myriad of such possible instances where no removal of gun(s) were necessary.
The California law was passed by the legislature while gun rights lobbyists wanted the law to fail.
The California law isn’t what the issue is. The fact that Trump is on the record of disavowing the protections of due process is the issue. This was more than campaign rhetoric. He clearly does not respect the laws of this country. These statements by him could be laughable if he hasn’t already and in many instances removed due process from the rights of people lawfully within the borders of the USA.
Trump’s belligerent behavior is not a mistake. His obstruction of justice is obvious. This contempt of court and complete disregard of the judiciary is his idea of perfection. Trump alone decided Venezuelans were going to kill Americans and proceeded to remove them from the USA to prove only he can “do it.”
Donald Trump is a law breaker. He is a criminal. His oath of office on the podium with Chief Justice Roberts was taken without a hand on the Bible his spouse was holding (click here).
Even at the time of his inauguration oath he was in defiance of being required to take an oath in defiance of the USA Constitution. I realize a Bible is not a constitutional requirement for the oath. But, this is a man with his own Bible. Trump claims to be devoutly Christian. His actions speak loudly of a man that has no regard for decency or loyalty to the laws of this great country.
