Heritage Foundation legal analyst has serious concerns about NM new Red Flag Bill

Amy Swearer is a Senior Legal Policy Analyst at the Heritage Foundation. Here is a recent Tweet she made about New Mexico’s red flag bill. She made a series of tweets on the topic detailing her serious concerns over the legislation.

I cannot overstate just how bad New Mexico’s new red flag law is…it uses “preponderance of the evidence” as the standard by which your fundamental rights are revoked.

Preponderance of the evidence.

You can’t even order someone to treatment on that basis.
