A new gun law is being proposed in Santa Fe, and this one comes from a Republican.

Sen. Greg Baca, who represents Valencia and Bernalillo County, has introduced Senate Bill 486, which would take guns out of the hands of people who claim they are incompetent.

Baca says if a person is claiming incompetency at trial they should be forced to relinquish all guns and ammunition. Baca calls it a common sense law.

If a person is later ruled competent and they don’t become a convicted felon, the guns and ammo can be returned to them.
