California has rolled out the Reduce the Risk campaign aimed at promoting Gun Violence Protection Orders (GVPOs) across the state. The campaign highlights the role of GVPOs in preventing mass shootings and violence, despite the tool's low public awareness. State officials are urging the public to request GVPOs in cases of domestic violence or harassment, stressing that those subject to an order must surrender firearms. Advocates for gun violence prevention believe the tool is critical in preventing future tragedies, with data showing GVPOs were used in 58 incidents that could have escalated to mass shootings.
