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 |
| Those, who have the command of the arms in a country are masters of the state, and have it in their power to make what revolutions they please. [Thus,] there is no end to observations on the difference between the measures likely to be pursued by a minister backed by a standing army, and those of a court awed by the fear of an armed people. — Aristotle, as quoted by John Trenchard and Water Moyle, An Argument Shewing, That a Standing Army Is Inconsistent with a Free Government, and Absolutely Destructive to the Constitution of the English Monarchy [London, 1697]. |
