No, some of them are crazier than a schidthouse rat, and NEED to have their guns taken away. But it needs to be done with due process, in accordance with the tenets that our justice system was founded on.

Exactly, a hearing, with an attorney, in an adversarial environment, a neutral judge, opportunity to confront accusers (no hiding behind confidentiality), and opportunity to hear and refute the charges, etc., etc.. Before all that happens, you are presumed innocent, and your property isn't touched. That's what the Constitution and traditional American jurisprudence requires. Absent that, it's literally nothing short of armed robbery.
