This ‘Awesome Dude’ Lost His Gun Rights by Saying Stupid Stuff on Reddit
A Florida case highlights the due process issues raised by gun violence restraining orders.
Because he said three stupid, deliberately offensive things about mass shootings on Reddit, Chris Velasquez became an early target of a new Florida law authorizing “risk protection orders” (RPOs) that bar people from buying or possessing guns.

Yesterday, after taking a closer look at the evidence, the same judge declined to extend the RPO for a year.
