After deadly shootings over the weekend in Dayton, Ohio and El Paso, Texas, Rep. Robert Wittenberg, D-Huntington Woods, fielded another round of media calls about his legislation that would allow courts to temporarily take guns away from somebody posing an extreme risk in Michigan.

Earlier this year, he started his third term and introduced the legislation for the third time. It hasn�t budged.

His proposal would let immediate family members, current and former spouses or partners, roommates and law enforcement could ask a judge for an order to temporarily take possession of a person�s firearms and prevent them from buying new ones.

Few things are more frustrating than watching members of the media, politicians, and activists who often know very little about guns, have the resources to hire security when they face threats, and don�t understand the weapons criminals use telling me what I �need� to protect my family. And what they invariably tell me I �need� is a weapon less powerful than the foreseeable criminal threat.

Dayton Shooter's Gun is the Reason He Killed 9 in 30 Seconds � and Gun-makers Know it

Once again, lone gunmen armed with (legally purchased) military-style assault weapons were able to quickly kill unarmed civilians in two mass shootings this past weekend. The fact that the Dayton shooter was killed within 30 seconds of firing his first shot � and yet was still able to kill nine people within that short period of time, injuring dozens more � makes plainly visible what military veterans like myself have long understood: Assault rifles are uniquely lethal because they�re designed to kill as many humans as possible, as quickly as possible.

There are times where slight cracks are seen in the Second Amendment movement. Red flag laws sound great. In principle, I support them, but Democrats will never agree to the strict due process mechanisms that ensure people�s rights aren�t trampled on and it would most certainly be abused and morphed into a confiscatory weapon. In short, this will be the first of many policy weapons the anti-gun Left wants to use in their safety over security (and due process) agenda when it comes to gun politics. We�re now at it again: two horrific mass shooting less than 24 hours apart in El Paso, Texas and Dayton, Ohio.
