Does New Mexico have a red flag law that allows courts to temporarily remove firearms from individuals deemed a danger to themselves or others?

Yes
No
Only in cases of domestic violence
Only for individuals with a mental illness diagnosis

The correct answer is: Yes

New Mexico does have a red flag law that allows courts to temporarily remove firearms from individuals deemed a danger to themselves or others. Option B is incorrect because New Mexico did pass a red flag law in 2019, making it one of the 17 states with such a law. Option C is incorrect because the red flag law in New Mexico applies to all situations in which an individual is considered a threat, not just domestic violence. Option D is incorrect because the red flag law in New Mexico does not specify mental illness as a condition for firearm removal, but it does require the court to consider any relevant factors, including mental health, when determining if an individual is a danger.
