“Red Flag” ERPO Laws in CT and IN Work - Or Not?

Red Flag Laws Are Linked To Declines In Gun Suicides, New Study Finds

“Our estimates here were between 300 and 400 gun suicides prevented in the 10 years after Indiana enacted its law, and a little over 100 in Connecticut,” said Kivisto. These declines translated to a decrease in overall suicides in Indiana. In Connecticut, however, the lower number of firearm suicides was offset by an increased number of suicides by other means.“

So, if in two states evaluated, both appeared to experience a drop in firearms-based suicides, but in one state other non-firearms means of suicide offset the firearms suicides, the law works! Not a firearms suicide - gun control advocates don’t care...

Same thing happened in Australia after their gun control move. Take away firearms and suicidal people will find another way. Who woulda thunk!?

I have always hated that they use suicide to “pad” gun violence numbers.

The antis that came up with this ERPO shit don't care whether it actually works or not- their long range game plan is to create another Lautenberg Amendment analog that can be used to disarm shitloads of people and create a whole new class of prohibited persons....

And an increase in CO deaths, hangings and lacerations......

Typical propaganda bs. Yeaaa, we lowered GUN suicides! Because they don't want to admit that their stupid new rules didn't reduce the number of overall suicides. Great, so someone offed themselves with a blade or jumped off a cliff. Nice work, a-holes! You have made society less safe by stripping the 2A rights of law-abiding people for no change in suicide rate! Good job, f***stick!

This is the same game they play with the "gun violence" propaganda! London is a great example. "Gun Violence" down (maybe) but murder rate, and violent crime rates have gone up through the damn roof!

Beyond ERPO

I was going to start a new thread, but only have partial information. Tried looking up the bill number, but there are a dozen anti gun proposals, and the descriptions are too vague to pick the right one.

NEW YORK BILL - WHEN A SCHOOL DECIDES A STUDENT MAY BE "TROUBLED", THE STATE WILL REMOVE GUNS FROM THE KID'S HOME !!!

SO, the libtards who suspend kids from school for chewing a pop tart into the shape of a pistol will decide whether kids' parents can own guns !!!

Are all gun owners going to have to home school their children? This will surely make it easier for the schools to brainwash the rest of the kids against guns, without any opposition.

Either way, this is f-n insane

Holy shit... That's skipping FR and going straight to Potato. This is all just completely mind boggling.
