A Nevada gun law that allows guns to be taken from people deemed to be 'high risk' has been labelled an unconstitutional 'government power grab' by a conservative group that filed suit in hopes of blocking the law.
A conservative group has filed a lawsuit to block Nevada legislation that allows guns to be taken away from people who show"red flag" warning signs.
"The Red Flag provision violates both the Constitution of the United States and the Nevada State Constitution by giving judges the power to take away an individual's right to keep and bear arms based on the accusation that the individual is dangerous and should not have a firearm," said co-plaintiff in the lawsuit Julie Chen Hereford in a press release.
The group is challenging the law at least partly on the claim that it violates the due process rights of gun owners. The law is designed to prevent gun violence by allowing weapons to be taken from a person deemed to be a threat to themselves or others, after a legal order is obtained when police or family members report"high risk behavior."
