Table 5 Percentage of gun owners who would only support red flag laws if specific provisions were present

I would only support a red flag law if it included a provision stating that the firearm could only be confiscated for an extended period of time after a timely due process hearing in front of a judge, at which point the subject of the potential order could be present and provide evidence

I would only support a red flag law if it included a provision stating that the request to remove the firearm from the person could only be made by a law enforcement officer, not a family member

I would only support a red flag law if it included a fine for anyone who dishonestly uses the law to try to get firearms taken away from another person (for example, the person filing the complaint is just trying to get back at the gun owner for some reason)

I would only support a red flag law if it included a protocol for expeditious and inexpensive restoration of Second Amendment rights if the accusation proves to be unfounded or when the person is deemed to no longer represent a threat

I would only support a red flag law if it included provisions for the expeditious return of the accused person’s firearms once the order is lifted and the accused person’s rights are restored

I would only support a red flag law if it allowed the transfer of confiscated firearms to a designated friend or family member for safekeeping, instead of being stored by law enforcement officials
