California gun laws: Jerry Brown signs major new restrictions on firearms owners, rejects others

21. I understand what your concern is, but

It does not go into how you have to get a protective order. I don't see how you would without some kind of evidence, just like a domestic restraining order.

Teachers are sometimes targeted when there is a custody battle over a child. If the parent thinks there is a danger to the child and the parent by an ex, then the teacher who is in charge of that child in the daytime might for that child might also need that protection. I don't see that just saying these people can be justified in getting one means they will be able to get one without some kind of threat or evidence to back it up.

People have gone postal and killed bosses and coworkers. I am not saying it should be easy to get a restraining order, but if you have to fire someone and you suspect they are having serious mental problems and may be dangerous, how is it affecting their freedom to say they cannot come into the work place any longer. If they no longer work there, they shouldn't be there anyway.

There are reasons why these people have been added to this bill. Don't they have a way to protect themselves if they feel they really are in danger?

What does a person in a domestic situation have to do to get a restraining order? Don't they have to have some incident that the police had to intervene before they get the order?

I don't think this makes it any easier to get a restraining order...just adds some new potential targets of rage to the list. People who historically have been the target of this kind of rage.

I don't know what it takes to get a restraining order. I didn't think you got one by just asking for it.
