Newsom signs bill allowing prosecutors to seek gun violence restraining orders in select counties
LATimesA bill that would allow California prosecutors to help quickly take firearms away from people who pose a threat has been signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom.
Assembly Bill 1344, introduced by Assemblymember Jacqui Irwin (D-Thousand Oaks) and sponsored by Ventura County District Attorney Erik Nasarenko, would create a pilot program in Alameda, El Dorado, Santa Clara and Ventura counties.
The measure would give district attorneys the authority to directly seek Gun Violence Restraining Orders, or GVROs, commonly known as red flag laws.

Good move, if it holds.
