    Default Red Flag Law- Extreme Risk Protective Order

    Pres. Donald Trump called for a national Red Flag law on Monday morning after two weekend mass shootings. A similar law, or or Extreme Risk Protective Order, was signed into law by Colorado Gov. Jared Polis earlier this year.

    @LindseyGrahamSC
    says he's made a deal with @SenBlumenthal
    to create a federal grant program to encourage states to adopt 'red flag' laws.

    Hopes to introduce legislation soon and says Trump "seems very supportive" of the idea after conversation this morning.

    ~~

    Looks like the plan to offer states carrots to pass red flag laws is coming together. Red flag laws let courts temporarily take weapons from people deemed threats to themselves/others.

    I'll have to see what the details are.

    Alternatively, why not just lock them up or confine them in a mental institution until they are deemed to no longer be a threat.

    that's the Baker act
    A Baker Act is a means of providing individuals with emergency services and temporary detention for mental health evaluation and treatment when required, either on a voluntary or an involuntary basis.
    but that is for people deemed to be at personal risk -most of these are not at personal risk,
    but they ARE a risk to society when armed

    I think that is highly debatable, given that most mass shooters seem to be suicidal.

    We have to take your gun away, because you might shoot yourself.

    Obama already did something similar. Trump reversed it.

    Mcconnell is sitting on gun bills and many others. Can you post the truth?

    It looks like Lindsey Graham and Blumenthal both support this -the question is will Congress actually do something

    Oh, you know it.

    Good call.

    He's done this before.

    And he does have a history of promising things and then not delivering.

    No, he doesn’t. Recall that he reversed an Obama EO that identified people who were deemed incapable of managing their own affairs in order to reduce the risk of them possessing firearms.

    Yup. This has all the earmarks of ending up the same way. An immediate message against the NRA just after the mass shooting is followed by a reversal the next week. And if that is the case then I shall surely withdraw my approval.
