A red flag law expert testifying in front of a US Senate subcommittee on Wednesday said the FedEx mass shooting that took place in Indianapolis two weeks ago shows the devastating effect of a failure when a state s red flag law is not fully invoked.
Josh Horwitz, executive director of the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence, made the comments alongside testimony from four other witnesses hours before President Joe Biden was expected to urge lawmakers to adopt more restrictive gun control laws in his first address to Congress.
Senators heard from the witnesses during a Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution as they mull over the prospect of creating federal grants that encourage states to enact red flag laws like those seen in Indiana and Connecticut.
