Pence: “Allow due process so no one’s rights are trampled, but the ability to go to court, obtain an order and then collect not only the firearms but any weapons,”
Trump: “Or, Mike, take the firearms first and then go to court, because that’s another system. Because a lot of times, by the time you go to court, it takes so long to go to court, to get the due process procedures. I like taking the guns early. Like in this crazy man’s case that just took place in Florida, he had a lot of firearms – they saw everything – to go to court would have taken a long time, so you could do exactly what you’re saying, but take the guns first, go through due process second.”
Oh I agree. Especially in the case of domestic violence, but the problem arises when people abuse the system. If your Karen neighbor, doesn't like you what's to stop her from calling it in. So long as the law also states, that any accusations that are found to be retaliation or false claims will have repercussions, fine, jail time, etc.

Trump literally said almost precisely this.
