DENVER — Gov. Jared Polis on Monday called for the expansion of the “red flag” law in Colorado that gives loved ones and law enforcement the ability to take guns away from people who appear to be dangerous.
A roommate, relative or law enforcement officer can ask a judge to remove firearms from someone the court deems to be a “significant risk” to themselves or others. In a statement to 9Wants to Know, Polis’ spokesman said the governor supports expanding the list of those who can request a red flag order – officially known as an “extreme risk protection order” – to include district attorneys and possibly others.

I guess Polis got his Red Flag toy and wants to play with it now.
Better question to ask is why did the DA drop the criminal charges against the shooter in 2021? Sounds like the shooter should have been in jail or a mental ward where he would not have any access to the public or firearms instead of roaming the streets but the .gov took his guns because he might use them to harm someone.
