      ab: The article focuses on Extreme Risk Protection Orders (ERPOs) as a policy tool aimed at preventing firearm violence in the United States. ERPOs are civil court orders that temporarily remove firearms from individuals deemed at risk of harming themselves or others, with 22 states, Washington, DC, and the US Virgin Islands having enacted such laws by 2025. The article discusses the growing research on ERPO implementation and effectiveness, highlighting gaps in knowledge regarding their impact on interpersonal violence and mass shootings, as well as issues of equity in their utilization. A special collection sponsored by Everytown for Gun Safety aims to address these gaps through diverse research methodologies, providing insights into implementation barriers, geographic variations, and the need for public awareness and education. The collection seeks to enhance understanding of ERPOs and inform future policy and practice in firearm violence prevention.
