Democrats Nancy Pelosi and New York Governor Andrew Cuomo signed the "Red Flag Bill" into state law this week, allowing authorities to confiscate guns from citizens.
NY Gov. Cuomo was joined by Democratic House Speaker Pelosi for the signing ceremony at the John Jay College of Criminal Justice in Midtown Manhatten, NYC. Pelosi praised Cuomo and the New York State Legislature for "Leading the way by passing the Red Flag Bill & providing an example of the commonsense solutions."
Aside from law enforcement, the bill also allows school teachers and family members to request a person's guns are confiscated by the authorities.
According to Buffalo News, Cuomo and Pelosi were joined by various gun control advocates, including Linda Beigel Schulman, a Long Island woman whose son, slain schoolteacher Scott Beigel, was killed last year at Florida's Parkland school mass shooting.
Tom King, executive director of the New York State Rifle and Pistol Association and a board member of the National Rifle Association, last month called the gun control package approved by the Legislature "a massive assault" on Second Amendment rights.
The law allows that "Family members, school administrators, and law enforcement officials can seek to get guns confiscated from people deemed by courts to be an 'extreme risk' to themselves or others."
According to Breitbart, Cuomo said on Monday that the confiscation law "Will save lives and doesn't infringe on anyone's rights."
