Colorado's "Red Flag" law, signed by Governor Jared Polis in 2019, allows for the temporary confiscation of firearms from individuals deemed dangerous. State Senator Tom Sullivan, whose son was killed in the Aurora theater shooting, advocates for the law despite pushback from local sheriffs who view it as unconstitutional. Statistics from the law's first year show approximately 150 petitions filed, leading to weapon seizures in 66 cases, including one involving a man with 59 firearms.
