TUCKER CARLSON (HOST): In Florida, the police can seize guns from people who pose a "significant danger" based on "any relevant evidence." Huh. That's it. Any relevant evidence. The law raises some obvious questions. The most obvious is if you can seize people's guns without proving that they committed a crime, why can't you imprison them without proving they committed a crime? If you can take their guns, why can't you take their homes? Why can't you empty their bank accounts?
