Firearm mortality includes suicide, homicide and other intents. Firearm regulation or storage concerns a possible component of injury prevention; it does not establish a change in deaths. This connection does not establish causation. Actions after the measurement period cannot explain the earlier observed value.

Retained Kansas evidence context: Firearm deaths. This record’s connection to the topic does not establish an effect on the measured result.

Sec. 3. (a) In an action under section 2, and amendments thereto, the court may issue a gun violence restraining order if the court determines that there is reasonable cause to believe that the defendant poses a significant risk of personal injury to self or others by possessing a firearm. In determining whether reasonable cause exists, the court shall consider all of the following: (1) Testimony, documents, or other evidence offered in support of the request for the gun violence restraining order; (2) whether the defendant has previously inflicted or threatened to inflict personal injury on self or others; and (3) any other facts that the court believes are relevant. (b) If the plaintiff in an action filed under section 2, and amendments thereto, is not an individual described in section (2)(a)(1) through (6), and amendments thereto, the court shall not issue the gun violence restraining order unless the court determines that the plaintiff has a close enough relationship with the defendant to justify the issuance of the order. (c) The court in an action under section 2, and amendments thereto, may issue a gun violence restraining order without written or oral notice to the defendant if the court determines that clear and convincing evidence has been submitted under oath or affirmation that irreparable injury will result from the delay required to effectuate notice or that the notice will 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 HB 2198 3 itself precipitate adverse action before a gun violence restraining order can be issued.

The motion to modify or rescind the order must be filed within 14 days after the order is served on the restrained individual or after the restrained individual receives actual notice of the order, unless good cause is shown for filing the motion after the 14 days have elapsed. (e) The court shall conduct a hearing on a motion under subsection (d) within 14 days after the motion is filed. If the restrained individual is an individual described in section 2(d), and amendments thereto, the court shall conduct a hearing on a motion under subsection (d) within five days after the motion is filed. Sec. 4. (a) If the court determines under section 3, and amendments thereto, that a gun violence restraining order is to be issued, the court shall include all of the following provisions in the order: (1) That the restrained individual shall not purchase or possess a firearm; (2) a statement that the restrained individual may file a motion to modify or rescind the order and request a hearing within 14 days after the restrained individual is served with or receives actual notice of the order and that motion forms and filing instructions are available from the clerk of the court, if such order is issued under section 3, and amendments thereto; (3) a statement that violation of the order will subject the restrained individual to immediate arrest and the civil and criminal contempt powers of the court; and (4) an expiration date that is not more than one year from the date of issuance. (b) In the discretion of the court, a gun violence restraining order may include an order to a law enforcement agency to seize firearms in the possession of the restrained individual. An order issued under this subsection shall specifically describe the firearms to be seized. The court may also order that a law enforcement agency seizing firearms under this subsection may seize any other firearms discovered that belong to or are in the possession of the restrained individual. (c) A gun violence restraining order is effective and enforceable immediately after it is served on the restrained individual or after the restrained individual receives actual notice of the order. The order may be enforced anywhere in this state by a law enforcement agency that receives a true copy of the order, is shown a copy of it or has verified its existence.
