Flag Gun Protection Bill to prevent gun violence.
Last week, Gov, Cuomo introduced the bill, which prevents dangerous individuals from possessing, purchasing or attempting to purchase any type of gun. It also empowers teachers and school administrators to prevent school shootings by pursuing court intervention. The courts will determine if a person have a potential to harm himself/herself or others.
The Red Flag Gun Protection Bill is also known as Extreme Risk Protection Order Bill. The proposed legislation builds on New York’s gun laws, which is the strongest in the country.
In a statement, Gov. Cuomo said, “New York will not stand by and wait for Washington to take action against the gun violence and school shootings that have become all too common in this country.”
In addition, the governor said, “Together, we can and will pass this common sense gun legislation. We will continue to fight to ensure gun violence has no place in this great state.”
