Exactly this. This isn't an example of the law working correctly, it is an example of a judge using common sense to short-circuit what would otherwise have been a miscarriage of justice.
Had the law "worked correctly," an order would have been issued and Morris' weapons seized and held for two weeks until a hearing, at which time the order would undoubtedly have been rescinded.
As to whether the "grieving mother" should be charged, of course she should. This is a case of cold-blooded vengeance. It is no different than the cases of Aurora parents suing the ammo dealer for selling the ammo to the shooter, or the Sandy Hook parents suing Remington for manufacturing the AR-15 used in the massacre.
