I can tell you how it all started, how the powers that be softened LE to the point that taking guns was no big deal.

I was a cop when the DV laws were first implemented, at that time that's when it became unlawful for you to possess firearms or own them if you had been convicted of DV assault. Many cops lost their jobs at that moment, even if they had committed DV 20 years earlier and it was on record. How it relates is this; for the first 5 years or so whenever you had to remove guns from a household or individual for DV you did not feel right, kinda felt guilty like it was betrail of another American, because you knew what you were doing was against your oath but it was justified to save lives. After a few years of doing this it just became part of your job.

In about 2006 things took another step, all of a sudden judges started issueing orders to remove firearms from individuals merely if their neighbor filed for an anti-harrasment order. All the petitioning party had to say is " my neighbor looked at me funny and I know he has guns and I am afraid", the judge would issue a tempory order of protection, ordering cops to go to the residence and focreibly remove firearms until after the hearing for perminent order, at that time the accused party would be able to defend themselves, if they proved they were no threat they could get their guns back maybe a couple months later... This went on for a couple years and then stopped for some reason, kinda like it was to see how the public and Police would react. People did not react well to blantent violations to their rights even if it was done under the premise of community caretaking.

Anyways They have been softening the cops and judges up for a while by trying to change how they view things. They have been successful I might add.
