On February 14, 2018, a nineteen-year-old former student walked into the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, FL, and fatally shot 17 people. There was an immediate national outcry to “do something” to stop the violence. When information emerged that the shooter had documented mental health issues, lawmakers across the country began pushing for laws that would take away guns from individuals whose behavior raises a “red flag” that he or she could be a threat to themselves or others.
The purpose of these laws is to identify an individual that exhibits early warning signs of danger and prevent a criminal act from occurring by preemptively disarming the individual.
Commonly referred to as “Red Flag” laws, these bills model those already in existence in Connecticut, California, Indiana, Washington, and Oregon. In the fourteen months since the Parkland incident, ten more states have enacted their own versions. These states include Florida, Delaware, New York, Illinois, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Maryland, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Colorado. Twenty-three other states have proposed measures of their own as of April 17, 2019.
