RAISING THE RED FLAG: EXAMINING THE CONSTITUTIONALITY OF EXTREME RISK LAWS.
- Authors
JOHNSON, CAITLIN M.
- Abstract
This Note examines the constitutionality of extreme risk protection orders, specifically, their burden on the Second Amendment right to keep and bear firearms. Part I explores the current demand for greater government intervention in light of the increase in mass shootings in the United States. Part II examines the evolution of the Second Amendment since the Founding and provides an overview of the current extreme risk petition process. Part III analyzes the constitutionality of enforcing extreme risk protection orders against law-abiding citizens. Finally, Part IV recommends future legislative safeguards that balance the fundamental interests of possessing firearms and promoting public safety.
