The Federal Extreme Risk Protection Order Act empowers family members and law enforcement to seek a federal court order to temporarily remove access to guns from those who pose a danger to themselves or others, while incentivizing states to adopt their own so-called \u201cred flag laws.\"\n\nThe New Mexico State Legislature passed theExtreme Risk Firearm Protection Order Act to give law enforcement a critical tool to prevent gun homicides and suicides.A study by Everytown for Gun Safety found that most mass shooters exhibit warning signs before carrying out an attack, but without an extreme risk law, family and law enforcement lack the ability to temporarily disarm individuals considering acts of violence.\n\n\u201cOur kids are asking us to take action, our parents are asking us to take action, andall over the country, American people want to see Congress take action,\u201dRep. Stansbury said. \u201cOver the past 48 hours, I am proud that the House has acted to pass the Protecting our Kids Act and Federal Extreme Risk Protection Order Act. Banning high-capacity magazines, bump stocks, ghost guns, addressing gun trafficking, sales, and safe storage, and putting into place risk protection measures\u2014these bills will help save lives. Now, it\u2019s time for the Senate to act.\u201d\n\nThe Federal Extreme Risk Protection Order Actallows family members and law enforcement officers to petition a federal court for an extreme risk protection order, empowering federal judges to prevent tragic shootings by temporarily removing firearms from potentially dangerous individuals.
