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 |
| "Some people think that the Second Amendment is an outdated relic of an earlier time. Doubtless some also think that constitutional protections of other rights are outdated relics of earlier times. We The People own those rights regardless, unless and until We The People repeal them. For those who believe it to be outdated, the Second Amendment provides a good test of whether their allegiance is really to the Constitution of the United States, or only to their preferences in public policies and audiences. The Constitution is law, not vague aspirations, and we are obligated to protect, defend, and apply it. If the Second Amendment were truly an outdated relic, the Constitution provides a method for repeal. The Constitution does not furnish the federal courts with an eraser." --9th Circuit Court Judge Andrew Kleinfeld, dissenting opinion in which the court refused to rehear the case while citing deeply flawed anti-Second Amendment nonsense (Nordyke v. King; opinion filed April 5, 2004) |
