A bill that seeks to expand New Mexico’s fledgling red flag gun laws has been bumped from this year’s 60-day legislative session by more pressing priorities, according to local reports.

“For all intents and purposes, it’s gone, unless something really radical changes,” one of the bill’s Democrat sponsors, State Rep. Daymon Ely, told the Santa Fe New Mexican on Wednesday. “But there are just too many other priorities this time.”
