State Rep Urging People To Tattle On Friends and Family
From The Truth About Guns:
One of the gun control measures Rep. Stoneback helped push over the line before being elected was the Firearms Restraining Order Act, Illinois’ version of a red flag confiscation law. Once in office, she helped expand the law so that more people, including ex spouses and those with common children, can drop a dime on a gun owner and move to confiscate their firearms.
Now Rep. Stoneback is taking steps to make sure that all of her constituents know about the law and can easily petition a court to grab the guns of someone they know and love (or just someone with whom they have a beef).
Colorado Red Flags To Be Granted 95% Of The Time
From Reason:
The Colorado legislature’s official fiscal analysis of that state’s new “red flag” law, which took effect this week, projects that police and “family or household members” will use it to seek gun confiscation orders against people they portray as threats to themselves or others about 170 times a year. The analysis also assumes that 95 percent of those petitions will be granted, which is not far-fetched given Florida’s experience with such orders.
Washington Expands Reasons For Taking Guns
From Bearing Arms:
Now, the state wants to use ERPOs for more gun owners who, like the man who went to Northwest Hospital in early April, threaten to commit hate-fueled violence. Among a slew of gun violence prevention bills signed by Governor Jay Inslee in early May was an amendment to the current ERPO law that specifies that judges should consider whether a troubled gun owner has been convicted of “malicious harassment,†a category that includes behaviors like burning crosses and defacing property with swastikas. It’s the first hate-specific ERPO law in the country.
CO To Recall More Politicians Over Red Flag Law
From The Truth About Guns:
Now Colorado has enacted one of the most sweeping “red flag†laws in the country (that allows virtually anyone — not just relatives and those close to a target — to initiate a confiscation order against anyone who poses a “significant riskâ€).
In response, a recall effort has been initiated against Rep. Tom Sullivan of Aurora who sponsored the bill.
Texas Proposes Dangerous Red Flag Law
From Gun Owners of America:
Governor Abbott announced his “emergency†agenda items Tuesday and included school safety with an emphasis on “mental health.†While no bills have been specified yet, this could easily include items such as “red flag†type legislation that we have been fighting all across the country that allows for gun confiscation simply because a judge decides that you might misuse them in the future.
Red Flag Law Results In Police Killing Man
From Baltimore Sun:
Two Anne Arundel County police officers serving one of Maryland’s new “red flag†protective orders to remove guns from a house killed a Ferndale man after he refused to give up his gun and a struggle ensued early Monday morning, police said.
