Dear Committee, I am a resident of Connecticut and wish to voice my opposition for Bill 5448. Your opposition for this bill is important to me. There are already laws on the books that can protect people instead of this bill changing the existing law into something which I see being too easy to abuse. I support bill 5390 and bill 5432. THANK YOU [INSERT NAME] [INSERT TOWN]

Oppose Bill #5448 An Act Concerning a Risk Protection Order or Warrant Members of the Joint Judiciary Committee Keep the due process, allow for an investigation before rights are taken away. Any procedure that allows a judge to hear only one side of a case necessarily will produce a high error rate. Support Bill #5432 and Bill #5390. Thank you for your time, [INSERT NAME]

This bill is simply a reach to strip individuals not only of their property but rights. The inability to refute allegations or claims on your own behalf is gravely concerning, and quite frankly a gross miscarriage...
