Extreme risk protection order laws allow people to petition to have an individual's firearms temporarily taken away. Here's how they work.
The nonprofit group Everytown for Gun Safety has been a big advocate for these laws. They're vital to preventing gun violence, said Chelsea Parsons, Everytown's director of implementation.
Petitioners first ask a judge to issue a confiscation order. They present evidence about the risk they believe the individual poses. The judge decides when to issue an order. "It can be an extremely intimidating process to go to court on your own, file a petition like this during a moment of intense crisis," Parsons said.
