Cops Shoot Man to Death in Own Home Resisting Gun Confiscation

They released no body camera video no officers names released. It is the officers word against a dead man.

The media was making it out like he was a nut and the police was right to try and get his guns

Why don't we know the name of the judge that signed the watrent or even who requested it.

Did he actually try and fight them or did he say no you are not taking them and the officers attacked him and he tried to defend himself.

Despite the political standstill on federal and state gun policy, there's one proposal supported by both gun control and gun rights advocates: Red flag laws.

Red flag laws allow police to temporarily seize a citizen's firearms if a judge determines that they present a danger to themselves or others. These laws are currently on the books in 11 different states, including most recently, Maryland.

But just because these laws have received bipartisan support does not mean they are without controversy. In November, Anne Arundel County police officers fatally shot a man named Gary Willis while serving an order to seize his guns. The department is currently investigating the shooting.

What makes Maryland's law unique? And, what do studies tell us about the effectiveness of this policy? Kojo examines Maryland's red flag law with a panel of experts.
