"Kentucky Senator Proposes Controversial Gun Removal Bill Amidst Heated Debate"

Kentucky Republican Senator Whitney Westerfield has presented two versions of a proposed law that would temporarily remove guns from individuals deemed a threat to themselves or others. The proposals, similar to "Red Flag" laws in other states, have received support from victims of gun violence and some legislators, but face opposition from those who view them as a violation of Second Amendment rights. The proposed law, called CARR (Crisis Aversion and Rights Retention), aims to strike a balance between protecting individual rights and preventing gun violence. A bill has not yet been drafted for the 2024 General Assembly as it is still evolving based on input from various stakeholders.
