Michigan Governor Signs Red Flag Gun Law Despite Sheriff Pushback

Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer signed two bills on Monday that will make it easier for authorities to seize firearms from individuals who are believed to be a danger to themselves or others, commonly known as “red flag” laws. The bills are part of a series of gun-control measures signed by Whitmer since Democrats took full control of the state legislature earlier this year. The move comes as mass shootings often dominate national headlines, and states are moving in opposite directions with legislation to curb or strengthen safety measures.
