Maine voters have narrowly approved Question 2, a controversial ballot initiative that adds a new “red flag” gun confiscation process alongside the state’s existing “yellow flag” law—making Maine the 22nd state to adopt such legislation.
What the New Law Does
Under the new measure — which exists in addition to Maine’s yellow flag law — family or household members can now petition a judge directly to have someone’s firearms seized if they believe that person poses a danger to themselves or others. The law removes the requirement for a police officer or a mental health professional to first conduct an evaluation before any confiscation order is sought.
