The Buffalo supermarket massacre should never have occurred under New York’s “red flag” law, which is designed to specifically keep firearms out of the hands of disturbed individuals, a gun policy expert told The Post Tuesday.Accused mass killer Payton Gendron may have been a perfect case for the use of the law, as reports that the 18-year-old was talking about suicide and murder came to the attention of educators and law enforcement nearly a year before he killed 10 black people on Saturday — but nothing was done.“Though the facts about the circumstances leading up to this shooting are still developing, NY’s red flag law had the potential to prevent this tragedy and it appears that it just was not utilized,” New Yorkers Against Gun Violence executive director, Rebecca Fischer, said.
