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 |
| To have no proud monarch driving over me with his gilt coaches; nor his host of excise-men and tax-gatherers insulting and robbing me; but to be my own master, my own prince and sovereign, gloriously preserving my national dignity, and pursuing my true happiness; planting my vineyards, and eating their luscious fruits; and sowing my fields, and reaping the golden grain: and seeing millions of brothers all around me, equally free and happy as myself. This, sir, is what I long for. -- General Francis Marion, American War of Independence, Georgetown, SC [Source: 'Marion, The Life of Gen. Francis Marion' by M. L. Weems, Ch.18] |
