NEW YORK, Aug. 10, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- As more states in the US begin to adopt their own Extreme Risk Protection Orders (ERPOs), a new study from the Ad Council Research Institute (ACRI) and The Joyce Foundation uncovers the public's awareness of and attitudes toward these laws in the states where they are in place. Though awareness of these laws is relatively high (65%), only a small percentage (7%) of the public is very familiar with them and could be in a place to effectively utilize them if needed. The report also provides a communications toolkit with state-specific findings and resources to help local and national organizations drive actionable understanding of ERPOs.

Key Points: 
  • The report also provides a communications toolkit with state-specific findings and resources to help local and national organizations drive actionable understanding of ERPOs.
  • Since the start of the study, two more states have passed ERPO laws.
  • This study and toolkit not only shed light on the public's level of awareness but provides vital insights and proven messaging frames catered to individual states to inform the public.
  • "As more states turn to extreme risk laws, ERPOs are becoming an important part of a growing set of solutions needed to reduce gun violence in our country.
