Red Flag Laws Gain Steam Across New England... What's Next For New Hampshire?

U.S Air Force

Red flag laws allow family members or law enforcement to petition to get taken guns away from potential mass-shooters.  A handful of states have these laws, including Vermont, but more are considering this approach.  Still, they raise lots of questions: who decides that someone poses a threat, and do these laws make a difference?  

GUESTS:

  • Lauren Chooljian - State of Democracy reporter for NHPR.
  • Bob Clegg - President of Pro-Gun NH and former Republican state senator. 
  • John Dillon - Reporter for Vermont Public Radio and the New England News Collaborative. 
  • Robin Skudlarek - Activist for the N.H. chapter of Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America, a part of Everytown for Gun Safety.
