'Empoweing Enforcement'

 


Dear David,

Today, we were proud to release our findings from a comprehensive study we conducted on red flag laws, delving into why enforcement varies so much from state to state and identifying best practices to maximize the effectiveness of these laws.

Red flag laws are part of 97Percent’s policy roadmap, given the ample research demonstrating they can prevent gun suicides and mass shootings, as well as polls that show up to 81% of gun owners support them. This effort stemmed from gun owners consistently telling us: enforce the laws already on the books.

We’ll be briefing our findings LIVE and talking with experts in the field about how to utilize red flag laws to save more lives. Please join us on Thursday, April 18, at 12p EDT!
Our executive director, Olivia Troye, will be joined by Joshua Horwitz and Shannon Frattaroli from Johns Hopkins University, which just launched a national red flag law resource center with the U.S. Department of Justice – as well as Christopher Carita, a former detective from the Ft. Lauderdale, FL Police Threat Response Unit, who will speak about his experience with red flag laws in a state leading the nation in usage.

If you have a question you’d like to ask our panelists, please submit it ahead of time to info@97percent.us. We will address as many viewer questions as time allows. The link to join the roundtable will be provided to you after you register.

We hope you’ll tune in on Thursday!

Best,

97Percent

FBI Director Candidate Wray’s Adopting Language of Left on Guns Merits Further Scrutiny

Will Wray swear an oath to enforce “commonsense” gun legislation or to “support and defend the Constitution”? (Senate Judiciary Committee Hearing/YouTube) July 13, 2017 Attorney Christopher Wray, President Donald Trump’s nominee to head the Federal Bureau of Investigation, gave a response to a “gun control” question in Wednesday’s Senate Judiciary Committee hearing that raises flags for right to keep and bear arms advocates.  Per The Daily Signal , Wray was being “pressed” by Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn. “on whether he would back universal background checks for gun buyers.” Wray tried to get around specifics at first, talking in general terms about “efforts to deal with gun violence” and how he “would want to take a look at any specific legislative proposal and get back to you once I have evaluated [it].” But Blumenthal, as committed an  enemy of the Second Amendment  as ever put one hand on a Bible, raised the other and proceeded to lie though his teeth, was intent on scoring poin
