flag Michigan Republicans push to repeal red flag law, but it likely stays due to Democratic and governor support.

flag A Michigan House committee heard testimony on Republican-backed bills to repeal the state’s 2023 red flag law, which allows temporary firearm removal from individuals deemed a threat. flag Republicans argue the law infringes on rights and fails to address root causes of violence, favoring mental health services instead. flag Democrats and advocates counter that the law, enacted after school shootings, has prevented harm, includes due process safeguards, and reflects public support. flag No vote was taken, and despite Republican control of the House, the law is expected to remain in place due to Democratic Senate support and Governor Whitmer’s backing. flag As of late 2023, 384 requests were filed under the law, with 84 denied and eight rescinded.
