indiana and connecticut were the first, and as we built the laws moving forward, we wanted to add that healing at the beginning so that no firearm was ever removed without a judge looking at least at the evidence. there's more protection here than some folks have looked at through this, and i think it's in line with what we have seen in long-standing domestic violence protection orders. >> as i mentioned, i will yield to senator graham whenever he is ready to go. >> thank you, mr. chairman. thank you very much very good hearing, i appreciate it. mr. copel, are you still with us? we are trying to find a way on the front-end and backend to give adequate due process, but also address the problem. i think the indiana situation is a good one. your story made me think about, we want to make sure we are thinking this thing through and not going too far with it, but i have come to believe, mr. chairman, like you have, that state to have adopted these laws are probably on the right track. the cruise situation in parkland , 30 visits by the police, every warning sign known to mankind, and they w

that is the name in connecticut we have adopted for red flag laws. whatever you call them, we know they save lives. we know that red flag extreme risk orders save lives. their practical and proven tools that allow law enforcement, under some statutes and others, including family members, to keep guns out of the hands of individuals who possess and pose a danger to themselves or others. in other words, separate people from guns when they are in crisis. firearms make dangerous decisions far more deadly and your reversible. to give you one example. among commonly used methods of self-harm, firearms are by far the most lethal. for people who seek to take their own lives, the for talent he rate is approximately -- the fatality rate is approximately 85% with a firearm and a 5% by any other method. firearms are used in less than 6% of suicide attempts. but, they account for more than half of stuart -- suicide death. in 1990 nine, connecticut became the first in the nation to enact an extreme risk order, we call it a risk warrant. studies have shown that are

while we have seen a decrease in overall unemployment over the past year, over 143,000 connecticut residents are still without jobs. as i have said before, we know that women and people of color have been disproportionately affected. for example there are about 3.7 million fewer women working now than february of last year. to be clear these women are not opting out of the workforce they are being pushed out by inadequate policies, challenges like access to child care, work place flexibility are making it much more difficult for women to reclaim the jobs they lost. many have been forced to consider new careers because the jobs they had prior to the pandemic no longer exist. that is why i'm so encouraged that you and president biden have made it a priority to invest in american jobs and that means investing in workforce development, including sector based training, apprenticeship programs, partnerships between institutions of higher education and employers. as you know the subcommittee was instrumental in creating the apprenticeship program in 2016 has continued to fund the program with $185
