New Mexico Red-Flag Gun Law Seldom Used To Withdraw Firearms -
By Morgan Lee Associated Press
Records show a red-flag gun law aimed at removing firearms from people who pose a danger to themselves or others has been applied just four times across New Mexico since it went into effect in May.
The Administrative Office of the Courts confirmed Tuesday that petitions for extreme risk firearm protection orders had been filed through January in Eddy, Santa Fe, Taos and San Juan counties.
Three resulted in one-year court orders for the surrender of firearms with one order later rescinded.
A similar law in Florida has been used thousands of times since it was enacted in response to a mass shooting at a high school in 2018.
