COVID-19’s disproportionate and deadly impacts on senior citizens and skilled nursing facilities have been well-documented over the last 15 months. In line with the national trends, Santa Barbara County has had to confront many of the same disturbing circumstances.
KCBX s Rachel Showalter reports.
Central Coast Democratic Congressman Salud Carbajal announced new gun safety legislation that provides federal grants and resources to states that follow California’s lead in implementing red-flag laws.
His bill is called the Extreme Risk Protection Order Act of 2021.
Carbajal introduced the legislation at a press conference May 25, closely following the 7th anniversary of the 2014 Isla Vista shooting where six people were killed and 14 others were injured.
California passed a red-flag law following the shooting.
Red-flag laws allow family members and law enforcement officials to petition a judge to prevent an individual in crisis from purchasing a firearm. It can also temporarily remove firearms from that individual.
