Second Amendment advocates warn Trump over support for "red flag" laws

Washington — Second Amendment advocates are sounding the alarm over a potential expansion of state "red flag" laws, one of the gun reform measures President Trump has endorsed in the wake of the deadly mass shootings in Texas and Ohio.
Mr. Trump is urging Congress to back efforts to encourage states to adopt red flag laws, which give family members, and in some cases police officers, the power to obtain a swift court order from a judge to confiscate firearms from someone deemed a danger to themselves or others. The ability to obtain these "extreme risk protection orders" is already on the books in 17 states and the District of Columbia.
In the wake of the recent mass shootings, Mr. Trump spoke from the Diplomatic Room at the White House to call for adoption of red flag laws to "make sure that those judged to pose a grave risk to public safety do not have access to firearms and that if they do those firearms can be taken through rapid due process."
