Red Flag Laws
The White House Deputy Press Secretary Raj Shah said they were looking into red-flag laws regarding guns.
“I think some states have had these red-flag laws, for example, that remove firearms after you go to a judge for potentially dangerous individuals. That’s something that’s being done right now in a variety of states, right? They have due process rights for these individuals. It seems to be working in certain areas. That’s something that we’re looking at and other places we’re looking at,” Shah added.
Not everyone was happy about changes to gun laws. One such person was House Majority Whip Steve Scalise.
He said “I haven’t heard a strong, loud outcry for gun control.”
“All of these failures of Government to properly deal with mentally ill people make people strengthen their resolve on why they need a gun for their own protection,” he said. “It concerns people when more threats come to the gun rights of law-abiding citizens when Government failed at every level when they should have stopped this kid.”
