The Consortium for Risk-Based Firearm Policy
|
GOOD MORNING, CONSORTIUM MEMBERS AND FRIENDS OF THE CONSORTIUM,
|
|
Happy Halloween!
This month, the big news to share is our own: on Wednesday we released our latest report, Extreme Risk Protection Orders: New Recommendations for Policy and Implementation. The new report details new recommendations to improve and enhance the effectiveness of the state-based gun violence prevention policy known as extreme risk protection orders (ERPOs), including on:
- Duration of orders
- Third party clauses / joint occupancy clauses
- Cases involving minors at risk of violence
- Eligible petitioners
- Submission of records to NICS to prevent firearm purchases
- Data reporting and availability
The Consortium also issued federal recommendations regarding supporting state policy implementation and funding for NICS to assure that ERPOs effectively serve as firearm purchase prohibitors. These new recommendations are based on the latest research and an examination of the enacted versions of the law. The Consortium’s new recommendations build upon its initial 2013 recommendations and provide resources for policymakers as they move forward with passing and amending ERPO laws.
The report launch was paired with a webinar hosted by the Ed Fund, and the recommendations were echoed in a compelling op ed by Consortium contributor Paul Nestadt in the Washington Post. To learn more about ERPO, check out “ERPO: A Civil Approach To Gun Violence Prevention Teach-Out” from the Johns Hopkins Center for Gun Policy and Research, the Educational Fund to Stop Gun Violence, and the Bloomberg American Health Initiative; the interactive teach-out ends 11/8 but the content will remain accessible thereafter.
New Resources:
- CDC’s Division of Violence Prevention outlined their three strategic priorities of focus for the next five years, which includes expanding understanding of how to prevent firearm-related injuries and deaths.
- Multiple Consortium members served as Expert Firearms Data Infrastructure Panelists to address the current gap in firearms data. This month the panel, organized by NORC at the University of Chicago, released recommendations to improve firearms data collection for the federal, state, and local governments. A Blueprint for a U.S. Firearms Data Infrastructure. It is the last of three reports generated by the expert panel; the prior two are The State of Firearms Data in 2019 and A Conceptual Framework for a Firearms Data Infrastructure.
- This month the Northwestern University Law Review and the Duke Center for Firearms Law held a symposium on the Second Amendment. Videos of the keynote (given by Chris Murphy) and panels are available here.
- CSGV released two new reports this month:
- For thoughtful discussion of firearms law and related news, we recommend the Duke Firearms Law Center’s blog, Second Thoughts. This month, they shared insight into newly-confirmed Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett on Guns.
Media Highlights:
Finally – we all know that election day is just around the corner – make sure your voice is heard! There are many people running on gun violence prevention and public health up and down the ballot. Happy voting!
