A new law could have led to the Manhattan shooter’s guns being confiscated. It went into effect a month before the rampage

A new Nevada law that went into effect last month gives police officers the power to confiscate firearms from a person placed on a mental health crisis hold. Experts say it was designed to work in cases like the gunman who opened fire in a Manhattan office building on July 28, though it was not used in his case.
