Why the model tagged it this way: The bill enacts the "Anti-Red Flag Act," which prohibits recognition, service, and enforcement of extreme risk protective orders (red flag orders) by state and local entities, declares certain federal versions unenforceable, bars related federal grants, and creates a state jail felony for attempting to enforce them (with exceptions for certain family/criminal protective orders). This expands the firearms axis by reducing restrictions on firearm ownership and possession via such orders and preempts local or federal measures.
