Now Michigan is poised to become the 20th state — and the first in nearly three years — to pass a red flag law. The red flag measure faces pushback on the local level in a state where gun-owning culture runs deep. The Minnesota House advanced a wide-ranging public safety bill last month that includes a red flag law. An AP-NORC poll in late July found 78% of U.S. adults strongly or somewhat favor red flag laws. She spoke in favor of the red flag law at a Michigan Senate committee hearing in March.
