Here is a question that nobody wants to answer. If all of the procedures required by the 8 Exec. Orders are implemented and a report of Suspicious Activity has been submitted about a person, what will happen if:

• 1. the person reported does not have a serious mental disorder such that they are prohibited from possessing firearms;
  2. has not committed a crime; then
  3. what will be done with the person and/or their guns?

This is the question that needs to be asked of anyone and everyone who supports these efforts. The unavoidable answer will be "confiscation of firearms" from someone who has not committed a crime and who is not mentally incompetent.

The "do something" attitude is clearly understandable in light of the acts of these murders, but it is also clearly dangerous, clearly wrong, clearly unconstitutional. This will turn into the 21st century version of labeling someone a witch, so you can do with them (or in this case, their guns) as you wish.

I will withhold comment on the specific Exec. Orders, but I will say this much. The iWatch Suspicious Activities Reporting Network needs to be revamped to require that the reporting person to provide their name and contact information. This information should be immediately verified and if this is not possible, the report must be deleted. The Legislature needs to make submitting a false or misleading report a First Degree Felony.
