Michigan Governor Enacts Red Flag Gun Law Allowing Confiscation of Firearms.

Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer signed a series of bills that will allow law enforcement, family, health care providers, and others to petition courts to temporarily remove guns from those deemed dangerous. The legislation, known as "red flag" laws, will take effect 90 days after the end of the legislative session. The bills aim to prevent gun violence, including firearm suicides and mass shootings. The legislation did not garner any Republican support in the state Legislature, and at least one law enforcement official has vowed not to enforce the new red flag law.
