In the 2018 session, MPGV worked with other advocacy organizations and survivors of gun violence to pass the Extreme Risk Protective Order (ERPO), a tool that uses due process and is modeled after the successful Domestic Violence Restraining Order (DVRO) mechanism, to get guns away from individuals in crisis, who are dangerous but may not meet the criteria for involuntary hospitalization.
