A bill that would allow the courts to strip dangerous people of their guns is heading to Governor Rauner’s desk. The bill creates a lethal order of protection and sets up a process for friends and family to follow if they believe a loved one poses a violent threat to themselves or others. Under the law, a judge could order police to temporarily take that person’s guns away. The bill requires that a hearing be held within 14 days of such an order being issued.
