Let’s talk about red flag laws…🧵

Red flag laws or ERPOs are used to temporarily remove firearms from people who pose a risk of harm to themselves or others. They’ve been enacted in 21 states.

It’s been 17 years since the mass shooting at Virginia Tech. Today we remember the 32 people killed on that tragic day.

Keeping firearms safely stored away from children and teens, especially those in crisis, can save parents from legal consequences…and, most importantly, save innocent lives.

Following the Crumbley case, will more parents be held responsible if their kids commit violent acts with a firearm?

VA Gov. Glenn Youngkin recently signed a bill that would allow parents to be charged in some such cases.
