A New York court has upheld the state’s “red flag” law that allows police to temporarily confiscate firearms of individuals deemed a threat.
The unanimous ruling was handed down last week by the New York Supreme Court Second Appellate Department, overturning a lower court’s ruling that found the law to be unconstitutional. The top court found that the law, signed by then-Gov. Andrew Cuomo in 2019, doesn’t run afoul of the Constitution’s Second Amendment.
