Sinopsis

In this episode of the podcast, Jill is discussing Extreme Risk Laws, also known as Red Flag Laws, which enable a family member or police officer to obtain a court order to prevent a person from possessing firearms when a court is convinced that there are "red flags" that show that the person is at risk of harming themselves or others.  There are currently 17 states with Extreme Risk Laws in place and it is uncontroverted that the laws are helping to prevent deaths by suicide, mass shootings and other deaths via firearms.  So, why are some people against these laws being enacted?  Is it true that they are unnecessary?  Do they really violate the 2nd Amendment?  Why is it that many states only enact these laws after there has been a mass shooting? Attorney Rosensweig discusses all of this and more in this episode.
