This week has been tough. On Sunday night someone posted a reference to a political assassination targeted toward me on a gun Facebook group about my LB 58, which would create an Extreme Risk Protection Order for people who are deemed by a court and the police to be a (1/5)
significant threat to themselves and others. I introduced this bill over a year ago at the request of local law enforcement and the Sarpy County Sheriff’s Office, and at that time it was considered bi-partisan legislation. A few weeks ago one of my legislative colleagues and
now today @GovRicketts has decided to spread mistruths about my bill not containing due process and calling it “dangerous.” This dangerous and misleading rhetoric from a fellow lawmaker and now our chief executive only legitimizes and fuels the incitement of extremists and
alarms otherwise reasonable people. People can have reasonable differences on the policy rationale surrounding my legislation, but calling bills requested by law enforcement to largely prevent suicides that have been proven to be effective, constitutional and save lives in 17
other states “dangerous” and lacking due process when that is not the case is not only dishonest, it is dangerous. And while the Governor has a 24 hour security detail, I do not. (5/5)
