New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham signed into law a “red flag” gun bill on Feb. 25 that will allow state courts to order the temporary surrender of firearms from individuals who are deemed to pose a danger to themselves or others.
The “Extreme Risk Firearm Protection Order Act,“ would allow district courts, at the request of police officers receiving information from family members or friends, to put into effect an ”extreme risk protection order" (ERPO). Such an ERPO will enable removing the firearms from the individual’s possession for a period no longer than one year unless renewed.
