A measure being considered by the Utah House of Representatives would allow people to put themselves on a list that would prohibit them from buying a gun during a time of crisis. House Bill 267, sponsored byRep. Steve Eliason (R-Sandy), demands the Bureau of Criminal Identification create a process to allow Utahns to voluntarily put themselves on a no-buy firearms list. So, if a person on the list went to a retail store they would not be able to.
SALT LAKE CITY A Utah lawmaker wants to allow people experiencing a crisis to sign up for a list that would bar them from buying a gun from a retail store for a limited period of time.
Bill sponsor Rep. Steve Eliason, R-Sandy, emphasized HB267 is not a so-called red-flag law, a type of law that allows close family members to request law enforcement to remove guns from those considered at-risk.
He sees the bill instead impacting, for example, someone discharged from the hospital after a suicide attempt. While they re in a better state of mind, they can say, You know what, I m going to let a friend hold my firearms until I get feeling better, and I don t want to be able to, in a moment of weakness, purchase a firearm. So they could then put their name on that list, Eliason explained.
