Michigan Red Flag Laws Result in 287 Gun Confiscations

In the first year since Michigan’s red flag laws took effect, law enforcement and community members filed almost 400 requests to confiscate firearms from individuals deemed a risk to themselves or others, resulting in 287 approved Extreme Risk Protection Orders. This legislation, signed by Governor Gretchen Whitmer in May 2023, empowers police, healthcare providers, and family members to intervene and prevent potential violence or self-harm.

Data reveals that these orders primarily target men, with at least 201 requests identified, and highlights the laws’ role in addressing urgent mental health needs. Officials emphasize that while the criminal repercussions for some respondents exist, the laws aim to provide civil remedies and connect individuals to necessary resources rather than automatically funneling them into the criminal justice system. In a time when gun violence remains a pressing issue, these developments suggest a proactive approach in Michigan to enhance community safety.
