Red Flag Laws are laws that individual states give to law enforcement or family members to remove firearms from troubled individuals. 17 States have approved of Red Flag Laws since the 2018 shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida. Some researchers say that implementing Red Flag Laws could play a role in preventing mass shootings and that restricting some people from accessing firearms after being flagged could help save lives and prevent tragic circumstances.
