The law is supposed to temporarily remove guns from people who have the potential to harm themselves or others.
The Buffalo supermarket massacre should never have occurred under New York’s “red flag” law, which is designed to specifically keep firearms out of the hands of disturbed individuals, a gun policy expert told The Post Tuesday.
The law, which is also known as an extreme risk protection order, is supposed to temporarily remove guns from people who have the potential to harm themselves or others.

It wasn’t immediately clear if the school considered filing one.Fischer said this showed the system failed on multiple fronts in Gendron’s case.
