NM sheriffs force lawmakers to abandon red flag bill: We refuse to enforce unconstitutional laws

New Mexico – The New Mexico Sheriffs Association was able to help stop red flag gun laws from passing in 2019. Now, lawmakers are trying again.

But the sheriffs are dedicated once again to ensuring their state doesn’t join the other 17, and the District of Columbia, in adding the legislation. The group says that the laws would be both ineffective and unconstitutional.

The legislation would allow law enforcement or relatives to petition the court to take a person’s firearms if they’re in danger of hurting themselves or others. A sworn affidavit would be required to be submitted to the court explaining the reasoning for the request. Guns and ammunition would be returned upon expiration of the order.

No your right 8:52 but reg flags are not the answer!! Who define whats crazy? Im sure you think im crazy cause i like guns or because i disagree with your statement or wear two different color socks? Mental cases belong in hospitals..big pharma, FDA & drug companies execs going to jail for side effects would be a good start.!!

Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.
