Expanding Firearm Prohibitions for Individuals Posing Extreme Risk
This act aims to enhance public safety by supporting states and Indian tribes in establishing and enforcing court orders that temporarily remove firearms from individuals deemed a danger to themselves or others. Citizens may experience increased safety, but also potential restrictions on firearm access if they are identified as a risk through a judicial process.
Key points
Financial grants for states and tribes to implement programs for removing firearms from dangerous individuals.
Establishment of extreme risk protection orders (red flag laws) to temporarily prohibit firearm possession.
Mandatory training for law enforcement on the fair and effective application of these orders.
Federal prohibition on firearm possession for individuals subject to such court orders.
Extreme risk protection orders will be entered into national databases, affecting background checks for firearm purchases.
