According to a CBS News report, Minnesota has passed a new broad set of red flag gun laws that have gone into effect. It gives courts the power to remove guns from people who could be arrested themselves or others.

It gives a judge temporary control of their Second Amendment rights.

”It would have to have evidence that this person is a risk to themselves or others, compelling evidence, said Kevin Vick, the president of Stock and Barrel Gun Club. “Within 24 hours, those firearms can be seized with a warrant.”

The request to request that someone lose their access to guns can only come from a family or household member, a chief law-enforcement officer, or a city or county attorney.

A judge can order two types of restrictions. Long-term orders last up to a year and only come after a hearing in which the person can dispute that they’re at risk. An emergency order, the other type, goes into effect immediately without a hearing and lasts for two weeks.

Mr. Vick‘s concern is that there will be tension between public safety and individual rights, and that’s where the argument comes in.

Gun rights advocates opposed the measures.

“The impact of these laws will only be felt by peaceable owners, who are being imposed with unreasonable barriers to the free exercise of a constitutionally protected right,” said Rob Doar, senior vice president of the Minnesota Gun Owners Caucus.
