I strongly support HB 1454. Court-ordered firearm surrender exists to prevent imminent harm, and it is meaningless without enforcement. Criminalizing the possession of firearms after a lawful surrender order ensures compliance, protects public safety, and upholds the authority of the courts. This bill reinforces existing red flag laws in a clear and necessary way—and it should be obvious that ignoring a court order involving firearms must carry real consequences.
