Nevada lawmakers have given final approval to a firearm safety bill which would establish a way to take guns away from a person considered to be at risk for violence.
The Assembly approved the legislation Saturday, mostly along party lines, sending it to the desk of Governor Steve Sisolak, who campaigned on tougher gun laws last year.
Democrats arguing in support of the measure say it would help prevent mass shootings and suicides. Republican lawmakers and opponents have argued the legislation is too broad and unconstitutional.
The so-called "red flag" provisions allow authorities or family members to seek a court order to take firearms from a person who poses a danger to themselves or others.
The bill also bans bump stock devices that mimic fully automatic gunfire, which was used in the 2017 Las Vegas mass shooting.
