- Council member Brianne Nadeau called for red flag laws due to this shooting. These laws allow for individuals to report possible threats which leads to the accused’s 2nd amendment rights being taken away until proven innocent. An individual who falsely accuses will be heavily charged depending on the bill. Some argue that if the killer didn’t have his/her gun the D.C. shooting wouldn’t have occurred.
