Extreme risk protection orders are designed to prevent gun violence. But how do they impact the people subject to them?
About 125 people die from gun violence through homicide or suicide in the United States every day. Many more are injured by firearms.
AI Summary
About 125 people die each day in the United States from gun‑related homicide or suicide, and many more are injured by firearms. Extreme risk protection orders (ERPOs)—called gun violence restraining orders in California—temporarily remove guns from individuals deemed at risk of harming themselves or others. Prior research has mainly assessed whether ERPOs stop violence, but a new study by the UC Davis Centers for Violence Prevention shifts focus to the consequences people subject to these orders say they experience, including any prevention effects they attribute to the orders.
