New York has conducted a major expansion in the filing of red flag law orders at a time when two state Supreme Court justices have ruled them unconstitutional.

As part of the state’s plan to declare shootings a gun violence emergency, enforcement of the red flag law has skyrocketed.

The number of extreme risk protection orders has increased from 95 in 2021 to 584 in 2022, according to data released from the New York State Police. The 283 in the first three months this year sets a pace for about 1,100 – a 1,057% increase.
