Well the whole thread is moot, since the bill was shot down in the Colorado senate.

It is temporarily removing the guns from a person's possession based upon a preponderance of evidence that the person is mentally ill to the point of harming themself or others.
Reading the proposed legislation, this bill requires clear and convincing evidence, not merely a preponderance of of evidence... this is a lot more difficult standard to meet in court than a layman might presume. That coupled with the ability of the charged party to have a rehearing during the 182 days of suspension is more conservative than I've read in some other proposals/laws passed by other states.
