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.
