State lawmakers are continuing a marathon debate over a package of gun control bills. During a rare Sunday session, legislators gave final approval to a proposal that will expand the state’s red flag law.   

They are also moving closer to a final vote on a bill to remove legal protections from gun manufacturers.   

Yesterday, lawmakers held a final vote on a bill to give district attorneys, doctors and teachers the right to petition the courts to have someone’s guns taken away from them if they believe that person poses a danger to themselves or others. 

The bill must now go back to the Senate so they can review changes House lawmakers made.   

They also moved toward final approval of a bill that removes legal protections from gun manufacturers, making it easier for victims of violence to sue them.   

Lawmakers are scheduled to start debate today on a bill to raise the minimum age to buy a gun from 18 to 21.
