U.S. Senators Use COVID-19 to Push Longtime Gun Control Agenda
<[link removed]>
The COVID-19 panic has been used by would-be state and local
authoritarians as an excuse to keep Americans from exercising their
right to keep and bear arms. Thankfully, American gun owners have a
friend in the White House that has worked to protect their rights on
the federal level by declaring the firearms industry to be critical
infrastructure. However, this respect for the Second Amendment isn't
uniform in the federal government. There are some federal lawmakers
seeking to exploit COVID-19 to pursue their pre-existing gun control
agenda.

Citing COVID-19, California Extends Ex Parte "Red Flag" Gun
Confiscation Orders to 110 Days!
<[link removed]>
A state with one of the worst "Red Flag" gun confiscation laws on the
books just got worse. On April 13, California Attorney General Xavier
Becerra issued a guidance document on the procedures concerning
certain types of restraining orders. Citing the ongoing COVID-19
panic, Becerra noted that all ex parte Gun Violence Restraining Orders
(EGVROs) are to be extended 90 days past the statutory expiration
date. Under state law, such orders expire after 21 days - meaning that
an ex parte GVRO may now last up to 110 days. California's latest
attack on gun rights and due process should serve as a warning to gun
owners across the country about the dangers inherent to "Red Flag" gun
confiscation laws.
