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

Would the new gun law have stopped the Highland Park July 4th shooting? Probably not. But there is an indirect way the law could have kept guns away from the suspect — had a number of dominoes fallen into place. w/⁦@sahilkapur⁩ ⁦@echuckles⁩ https://t.co/tD60AQopQf — PolitiTweet.org
