It’s happening. The guns and ammunition of a 56-year-old resident of the affluent enclave of Lighthouse Point, Florida, were confiscated under new gun control legislation signed into law by Republican Gov. Rick Scott last week.
According to the Orlando Sentinel, “four firearms and 267 rounds of ammunition” were confiscated from the man, including” a Ruger LCP .380 pistol, an M2 Mauser .45 pistol, a Charter Arms .357 mag snub nose revolver and a Mossberg 500 12-gauge shotgun.”
The man was then “taken to a hospital for involuntary psychiatric treatment.” Per the confiscatory order, he will be barred from making future firearm or ammunition purchases.
Yes, Gun Confiscation Just Happened In Florida, And It Will Happen Nationwide https://t.co/Gx6b5aA9B4

Florida’s new confiscation law is extremely vague. According to the order signed by Broward’s Chief Judge Jack Tuter, it “permits confiscating guns from people who have not been committed but are deemed a potential risk to themselves or others.”
This order is one step away from a Minority Report-style pre-crime unit. And what criteria would deem someone a “potential risk to themselves or others”? Being a middle-aged white man who supports the Second Amendment?
Actually, the law goes further than just run-of-the-mill racism: it permits family members and law enforcement “to petition a judge to order the seizure of an individual’s firearms.” How communistic of you, Gov. Scott! Josef Stalin would be proud.
Of course, gun-grabbers think Scott’s law is a fantastic idea. Lighthouse Point Mayor Glenn Troast called it – wait for it – “commonsense”:
“This is not about the Second Amendment and it’s not about the NRA. We need commonsense gun laws and this is a commonsense gun law that gives police officers new tools they need to help us protect our community.”
Actually, this law is about the Second Amendment, because it’s in direct violation of it, along with the Fourth Amendment. But when it comes to gun control, “unconstitutional” equals “commonsense” in the eyes of liberals and RINOs.
