Suspect in mass shooting at Colorado Springs nightclub evaded state's red flag gun law

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

62% : An Associated Press analysis found Colorado has one of the lowest rates of red flag usage despite widespread gun ownership and several high-profile mass shootings.
45% : While it's not clear the law could have prevented Saturday night's attack -- such gun seizures can be in effect for as little as 14 days and be extended by a judge in six-month increments -- they say it could have at least slowed Aldrich and raised his profile with law enforcement.
38% : Gun control advocates say Aldrich's June 2021 threat is an example of a red flag law ignored, with potentially deadly consequences.
