I-TEAM looks at Florida’s red flag law after deadly mass shooting at Louisville bank.
Kentucky’s governor is calling for red flag laws in the state following a shooting at a downtown Louisville bank that killed five people and injured eight others.and injured eight others.
“I believe we can respect and honor people’s Second Amendment rights to protect themselves and their family — but, at the same time, at least take a step so that we can intervene when we know somebody is about to go out and murder a whole bunch of people,” he said. In the state of Florida, law enforcement can file a risk protection order if they identify someone as a threat to themselves or others. The order goes through prosecutors and ultimately ends up in a county courthouse, where a judge decides whether to take someone’s guns away.
“Sure, there’s no question that Florida is safer because if the system allows for weapons to be taken away from one person who they need to be taken away from, who is having a mental health crisis, who is a threat to the community, if it works, and we are a safer place because of it,” he said.
