Sheriffs across across much of New Mexico are opposed to a proposal from Democratic lawmakers that would allow police or relatives to ask a court to temporarily take away guns from people who might hurt themselves or others.
Sheriffs across much of the state are opposed to a proposal from Democratic lawmakers that would allow police or relatives to ask a court to temporarily take away guns from people who might hurt themselves or others, a New Mexico Sheriffs' Association official said.
Sierra County Sheriff Glenn Hamilton, a legislative liaison for the group, said Wednesday that members want to ensure gun owners keep their due process protections. He said no compromise was reached so far with lawmakers on the so-called red flag legislation.
Opposition from elected law enforcement officials may portend a repeat of last year's caustic debates about gun control at the Statehouse, where the annual 30-day legislative session begins Jan. 21. Gun control proposals in 2019 spawned a Second Amendment sanctuary movement in mainly rural areas of New Mexico, where sheriffs presented resolutions to their county commissions saying they would not be required to enforce the new laws.

Ok go take his guns, let me know how it goes. Officer “Are you shitting ME!”
What the mother #### is this?!?!?!!?!?
This can only mean FR is getting desperate for members!
It’s like the Raccoon Lodge on the Honeymooners :)
This is awful. Now when I bad mouth you, you’ll be able to respond!
Democrats everywhere are all the same. “ you can keep your guns until it’s time to turn them in.”
no leftard judge can overturn this lol
Yeah. It's much better to keep politely quiet and sweetly give away our 2nd Amendment rights and our right to being presumed innocent unless proven guilty.
Jealous, vindictive ex girlfriend (or neighbor who hates Trump) calls police to say fictitious bad things and law enforcement breaks in. At 3 am in pitch dark guy assumes it's home intruders who have been victimizing his area. Thus, a real reason for jail time for assaulting an officer in the dark.
If he doesn't resist them, then just wait for months while his lawfully registered guns are under impound and costs him processing fee money to get them back, plus lawyer fees.
“...temporarily take away guns from people...”
No such thing. It’s almost always permanent.
