New York’s ‘red flag’ gun bill goes into effect on Saturday
After years of efforts from gun control advocates, New York State’s “red flag” gun bill goes into effect on Saturday.
The bill allows a new type of order of protection, called an Extreme Risk Protection Order, to be served on people thought to be dangerous to themselves or others.
The order would allow removal of their guns if a family member, law enforcement officer or educator successfully petitions the court.
