How Second Amendment Radicals Are Attacking Red-Flag Gun Laws

Inside the ugly campaign to undermine bipartisan laws meant to keep firearms away from unstable people.

^{Mike Spies (Rolling Stone)}

#Walz signed a #PublicSafety package including a "#RedFlag" #law that allows family members, roommates or law enforcement to petition the courts to remove #firearms from the possession of anyone deemed a danger to themselves or others.

Another law in the package required private gun transfers to be subject to #BackgroundChecks.

"This is NOT about the #SecondAmendment," Walz said. "This is about the #safety & #security of our communities. That's what's happening here today."
