California has one of the lowest firearm mortality rates in the nation, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. This is largely because California has enacted some of the strongest and most effective gun safety laws in the nation.As a California Assemblymember a decade ago, our current state senator, Nancy Skinner, D-Berkeley, authored the first of these “red flag” laws designed to keep firearms out of the hands of those threatening violence to themselves or others.
Law enforcement, family members, employers, co-workers and school employees can request a GVRO by completing a form citing specific facts for a judge to review.

Deputy City Attorney Doug McManaway, who specializes in GVROs, offers these general tips:
• A self-help guide compiled by the California court system provides useful information to assist members of the public who are considering whether to seek a GVRO is available online at You can also return your ballot to one of these three official drop boxes in the city of Alameda : Alameda City Hall, 2263 Santa Clara Ave.; the College of Alameda, 555 Ralph Appezzato Memorial Parkway; and the Bay Farm Island Library, 3221 Mecartney Road on Alameda’s Bay Farm Island.
