California is spending $11 million on education programs promoting wider use of “red flag” laws that are designed to temporarily take guns away from people who are deemed at risk of harming themselves or others, Gov. Gavin Newsom said Friday.
The money was included in the state budget he approved nearly a year ago, but the programs are now getting underway.
Newsom announced the funding on National Gun Violence Awareness Day, and as he continued promoting California’s gun control efforts as a national model in response to recent mass shootings, including in Tulsa, Oklahoma;California approved its red flag law in 2014 after an earlier mass shooting.
But a report last year by the Violence Prevention Research Program at UC Davis Health said most people aren’t aware that the orders are an option.
