- Title
RED FLAG LAWS: PROCEED WITH CAUTION.
- Authors
Kopel, David B.
- Abstract
The article analyzes the advantages and disadvantages of red flag laws or Extreme Risk Protection Orders (ERPO) enacted in several U.S. states to prevent gun violence. Topics discussed include the tendency of some red flag statutes to destroy the due process of law and pose danger to law enforcement and the public, features of the red flag laws such as petitions initiated by law enforcement and court-appointed counsel, and the need for rules for mandatory return of arms.
