Just for technical accuracy, it was only the 64 applications in Pinellas county where every one was approved. That is still disturbing, but not as bad as the article implies.

There is an even bigger discrepancy in the article, though, that should make the law get re-examined. There were 450 people who were ordered to give up their guns. Only 200 guns were confiscated. These two numbers do not make sense to me. Well, there is one way it makes sense and this is why I call the law into question. It makes sense only if more than 250 people were ordered to give up guns that they never had to begin with. If the affidaits for these people alleged they had guns and they did not in fact have any, there is a big problem with the affidavits and the court hearings. How can a judge believe anything in the affidavit if there is no basic investigation to see if the subject actually has a gun or not? Why were they applying for these orders on people who do not have guns? Why were orders given that make no sense because they order someone to surrender something he dioes not own?

Or is the news article telling us that 250 people just refused to give up their guns and no one is doing anything about it, even making the case to the public that it isn't working right? Are there really 250 people in Florida who are so dangerous that they should not be allowed to possess guns but they have them and are refusing to turn them in?

Yeah, I have a few problems with this law.
