"Red Flag Laws" are now one step closer to becoming a reality in Michigan.

The State Senate passed the legislation yesterday, just one week after the House did the same.

The legislation would allow a judge to remove weapons from someone who shows signs of being a threat to themselves or others. Supporters say the law will save lives, while opponents say they will challenge the legislation.

That legislation now heads to the desk of Governor Gretchen Whitmer, who is expected to sign it into law.
