Gun Violence Prevention: New Rules and State Support

This act establishes a grant program for states and Indian tribes that enact laws allowing temporary removal of firearms from individuals deemed dangerous by a court. Its aim is to enhance public safety by preventing gun violence. Citizens can report concerns about relatives, and courts will decide on firearm removal based on evidence.
Key points
Temporary removal of firearms from individuals deemed a danger to themselves or others, based on a court order.
Family members or law enforcement can petition for such orders, providing evidence of the threat.
States and Indian tribes implementing these laws will receive federal financial support.
These orders will be recognized nationwide, meaning a person subject to the ban cannot legally possess firearms in any state.
Individuals whose firearms have been removed have the right to a hearing and can petition to vacate the order if they prove they no longer pose a threat.
