NoDak House Kills Red Flag Gun Control Bill

Bismarck, ND (KEYZ)  North Dakota’s House shoots down a bill allowing authorities to seize guns from a person, a family member or law enforcement, believes is a danger.  The House voted 76-17 Tuesday to kill the bipartisan “red flag” measure.

The bill would allow a judge to order guns temporarily seized if the police or family members believe a person is a danger to themselves or others.   A court hearing wold have had to be held within 14 days to determine whether to return the guns or hold them for up to a year.   Opponents say bill violates due process while supporters argue it can save lives.
Thirteen other states already have a similar law on the books.
