The Letter

Subject Protect Red Flag Laws From State Bans

Six states now ban or penalize the enforcement of extreme risk protection orders, and Texas made enforcing one a felony. These orders are the primary tool for removing firearms from people in crisis, and gun suicides account for 27,593 deaths per year, nearly twice the number of gun homicides.

Oppose any legislation that bans or penalizes red flag enforcement. Researchers estimate that roughly one suicide is prevented for every 10 to 20 orders issued. States that ban enforcement are choosing to leave families without a legal tool to intervene when someone they love is in danger.
