In 2019, a red flag bill was introduced to the Iowa legislature in Des Moines, and it needs support! Sign SASS's petition to ask our lawmakers to pass it!
Red flag laws dictate that a court order by recommendation of a family member or friend can temporarily confiscate firearms that could pose a risk to a gun owner if they are experiencing a severe, possibly suicidal, depression, or has been convicted of a serious felony and appears to be dangerous. Two-thirds of all firearm deaths in the United States are suicides, averaging 59 deaths each day, and domestic violence involving a firearm is 12 times more likely to end in death. This can go a long way in protecting gun owners and others from harm.
