Today the guys are re-touching on Gun Control. While it might not seem like anything is being done to protect people from irresponsible gun users, there have actually been several policies put in place in the last couple years, by State Governments. The main talking point for today is "Red Flag Laws", which are gun violence prevention laws that permit police or family members to petition a state court to order a temporary removal of a fire arm from a person who may present a danger to themselves or others.

 

Highlights:

• Red Flag Laws
• The problem is gun rhymes with fun
• One averted suicide for every 10-11 gun removals/seizures
• 85% of registered voters supported Red Flag Laws
• NRA ghost writing articles opposing gun control laws
• 2nd amendment sanctuary cities
• Australia gun buy back/ban

 

The Takeaway – It may not seem like things are happening on the gun control front, but they are. It's a slow moving process with many passionate opinions on all sides of the argument
