Maine's Gun Safety Coalition seeks to replace the "yellow flag law" with a "red flag law" for temporary firearm removal in crisis situations.
Maine's Gun Safety Coalition is advocating for a "red flag law," allowing families and law enforcement to petition for the temporary removal of firearms from individuals in crisis. This initiative aims to replace the existing "yellow flag law," which limits such actions to law enforcement. Supporters argue the red flag law, effective in 21 states, can prevent violence and save lives, while critics express concerns about potential infringement on constitutional rights.
