New York became the first state to give teachers confiscation power thanks to a new Red Flag bill signed into law Monday by Gov. Andrew Cuomo.

“Today New York is proud to pass the first-in-the-nation Red Flag Bill that empowers school teachers to do something when they believe something bad is going to happen,” said Cuomo at the signing ceremony where he was joined by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA).

“We are empowering teachers not by giving them guns like the President wants – but by arming and empowering them with the law, so when a teacher or family member sees there is a problem, they can go to a judge and get a court-ordered evaluation,” he continued. “The Red Flag Bill will save lives and doesn’t infringe on anybody’s rights and it is common sense.”

So, when that crazed armed shooter bursts into the school, teachers are armed with the law to quickly file a red flag request. Common sense,indeed!
