Texas Senate Bans Enforcement of Red Flag Gun Laws

The Texas Senate has passed a controversial bill that prohibits governmental entities from enforcing red flag laws, a legal mechanism allowing judges to temporarily remove firearms from individuals deemed a threat. The measure, known as Senate Bill 1362 and dubbed the “Anti-Red Flag Act,” received a party-line vote of 20-11 and restricts local and state governments from enacting such laws unless authorized by the Legislature.

Senator Bryan Hughes, the bill’s sponsor, argues it safeguards due process rights for gun owners, while critics, including Sen. Roland Gutierrez, contend that red flag laws could have prevented tragedies like the Robb Elementary School shooting. The bill also declares that any federal extreme risk protective orders that violate constitutional rights are unenforceable in Texas, raising significant concerns about its potential impact on community safety and law enforcement’s ability to act on potential threats.
