The New Orleans City Council urges the Orleans Parish Sheriffs Office to begin implementing a new state law that requires sheriffs to collect restricted firearms from people convicted of domestic violence or subjects of protective orders.

New Orleans state Sen. J.P. Morrell drafted a measure ?*signed into law by Gov. John Bel Edwards on May 20 ? that designates sheriffs as repositories for firearms in the possession of abusers. The law adds a framework and teeth to previous statewide efforts that prevent domestic violence offenders from possessing a firearm.?
