Cruz revealed gory fantasies to his therapists years before the Parkland massacre

14. Heres a California gun law that saves lives. If only Florida had such a law

I do not see why licensing and being able to get a TRO against folks making violent threats are mutually exclusive. What happens if someone with a license buys a gun, then starts making violent threats?

A man armed with an AR-15 assault weapon made serious threats, not in Parkland, Fla., but in La Jolla. There, authorities had the power to act.

The La Jolla man had texted his fiancée to say he intended to shoot her in the head. To drive home the point, he visited her ex-boyfriend and threatened to kill him, too.

Rather than wait until the man acted on his impulses, San Diego police turned the information over to San Diego City Attorney Mara W. Elliott, whose deputies used a relatively new California law to obtain a court-imposed gun violence restraining order requiring the man to turn over his gun last month.

Legislation pending in roughly other 18 states would follow the lead of California, Washington and Oregon by authorizing gun violence restraining orders. We can only imagine what might not have happened if such a law had been in place in Florida.
