After passing the State Senate Wednesday, red flag bills are now headed to Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer’s desk.
The legislation gives a judge the power to remove guns from people posing a danger to themselves or others. The Senate votes fell along party lines.
Here’s how the law will work:
A partner, former source, family member, law enforcement, or mental health professional can petition a court to have a person’s firearms removed temporarily if they are deemed to be a risk. It’s then up to the person to prove they are not a risk of regaining access to weapons in a court of law.
Michigan will become the 20th state to adopt such laws. |

| I see the people filing for the gun removal being sued. Wonder what if this was done to someone and they died when they were attacked and could not defend themselves. |

TO REMEMBER |
| No kingdom can be secured otherwise than by arming the people. The possession of arms is the distinction between a freeman and a slave. He, who has nothing, and who himself belongs to another, must be defended by him, whose property he is, and needs no arms. But he, who thinks he is his own master, and has what he can call his own, ought to have arms to defend himself, and what he possesses; else he lives precariously, and at discretion. — James Burgh, Political Disquisitions: Or, an Enquiry into Public Errors, Defects, and Abuses [London, 1774-1775]. |
