The correct answer is: Yes

Yes, New Mexico does have a 'red flag' law that allows courts to temporarily remove firearms from individuals deemed to be a danger to themselves or others. This law, also known as the Extreme Risk Firearm Protection Order Act, was signed into law in 2019 and applies to individuals of all ages. It is not limited to only those under 21 years of age. Additionally, it can be utilized in situations beyond declared states of emergency. Therefore, options B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not accurately reflect the details of this law in New Mexico.
