Red flag laws are only as good as their implementation. The Firearms Restraining Order Act passed in 2018 in Illinois, but hasn’t been used often. One lawmaker attributed low use to lack of knowledge from both law enforcement and the public.
Elise Schering, 7, displays a message during a National Gun Violence Awareness rally at the Capitol in Sacramento, Calif., June 2, 2022. Gov. Gavin Newsom announced that California is spending $11 million to promote use of red flag laws. "Red flag” laws allow law enforcement or family members to petition courts to temporarily remove firearms from individuals if they pose a danger to themselves or others.
Democratic and Republican senators may find rare consensus on gun legislation by supporting the expansion of "red flag" laws. These laws allow courts to temporarily take away a gun from someone who shows signs of a threat.to Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, in support of restrictions, including red flag laws.
The process allows people to petition a civil court to temporarily remove that person’s firearms. Red flag laws are sometimes called extreme risk protection orders ; gun violence restraining orders; or state crisis intervention orders. Once the court receives a petition, judges must follow their state law that explains what criteria a judge must or could consider.
In most states, final orders can last up to a year, though they can be extended. Once the order is issued, the individual must surrender their firearms. For example,says that individuals can either sell their firearms to a federally licensed dealer or arrange for storage by a law enforcement agency. If the individual owns an antique firearm, it can be transferred to an eligible relative who doesn’t live with them.
It is possible for someone who is undergoing the red flag law to separately face a criminal charge. But in many situations there is no parallel criminal case.
