Michigan’s “red flag” gun law, implemented in 2024, has led to 287 confiscation orders in its first year, with 84 requests denied and 8 rescinded. The law allows courts to remove firearms from individuals deemed a risk to themselves or others. Among the 391 requests, most were granted before a hearing, often due to immediate danger. The law is an important tool in preventing potential harm by temporarily removing firearms from individuals at risk.
