Area of Science:

  • Legal Studies
  • Public Health
  • Criminology

Background:

  • Gun violence remains a significant public health concern.
  • Existing legal mechanisms like extreme risk protection orders (ERPOs) are not universally available.
  • Guardianship law is an underutilized legal framework with potential applications in public safety.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To demonstrate how state guardianship law can be leveraged to reduce gun violence.
  • To explore the complementary role of guardianship law alongside ERPOs.
  • To assess the utility of guardianship law in states without ERPOs.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of state guardianship statutes and case law.
  • Comparative legal research on firearm regulation and mental capacity.
  • Examination of due process requirements within guardianship proceedings.

Main Results:

  • Guardianship law provides a judicial mechanism to disarm individuals found incapable of safe firearm possession.
  • It can fulfill a portion of the objectives of ERPOs in jurisdictions lacking them.
  • Existing guardianship frameworks can be adapted for firearm prohibition.

Conclusions:

  • Guardianship law presents a viable, albeit overlooked, strategy for gun violence prevention.
  • Modest adjustments to guardianship law and practice can enhance fairness and effectiveness in firearm interventions.
  • This legal avenue offers a supplementary tool for courts to address firearm access by at-risk individuals.
