Extreme Risk Protection Order Expansion Act of 2023

The Extreme Risk Protection Order Expansion Act of 2023 seeks to expand the use of "red flag" laws, which allow courts to temporarily prohibit individuals deemed a danger to themselves or others from possessing or purchasing firearms. The bill would create a federal grant program to help states, local governments, and tribal nations implement these laws and would require the FBI to track protection orders in a national database. For citizens, this means that if a person is subject to a state-level extreme risk protection order, they would also be legally prohibited from possessing firearms or ammunition under federal law.
