According to a report out Monday, hundreds of gun owners in Florida have been ordered to give up their guns under a new law that took effect after the deadly Parkland shooting in February.

Fox News reports the Risk Protection Order, signed by Florida Gov. Rick Scott, allows officials to temporarily remove weapons from gun owners who have been deemed by a judge to possibly be a threat to themselves or others.

So far, every petition filed under the order has been granted by the judge. 

In addition to confiscating guns, the law also raised the age to buy a rifle to 21 and established a three-day waiting period on gun purchases.
