'Red flag' laws can play a role in preventing mass shootings, researchers say. Such laws allow the temporary removal of guns from people deemed at high risk of harming themselves or others.
Determining how to prevent mass shootings in the United States has been a complicated debate, but there's new evidence that one intervention could play a role in reducing the violence:"red flag" orders.
Trump backs 'red flag' gun laws. What do they actually do?Extreme risk protection order laws, colloquially known as"red flag" or ERPO laws, allow the temporary removal of guns from people deemed at high risk of harming themselves or others. They've been presented as possible solutions to help prevent the mass shootings that plague the United States.
"These extreme risk laws very specifically focus on dangerous behaviors, not on mental health diagnoses, because dangerous behaviors are the important predictors of future violence," she said.Those behaviors can include talking about harming yourself or others, writing about plans to be violent or threatening someone with violence and having the means to carry out those plans. CNN's Lauren Dezenski contributed to this report.
