“It’s not clear whether it would have prohibited the purchase,” said Nick Suplina of @Everytown. “But it may have led to other action from law enforcement — at least a flag that, hey, this young man that threatened to kill his family and himself is purchasing a gun.” — PolitiTweet.org

— Highland Park police visited suspect’s home twice in 2019, once for suicide attempt and for threatening to kill relatives. So he was on their radar. — Once local police were informed he is buying guns, they COULD have pursued a red flag law order to confiscate his weapons. — PolitiTweet.org

Illinois is one of 19 states that already have a red flag law on the books. And clearly it didn’t work in Highland Park this time. — But the new gun law also provides millions in fed grant $$$ to help make red flag laws more effective through education/resources. — PolitiTweet.org
