Effort Underway to Get Red Flag Law on Maine Ballot

A signature gathering campaign is underway to try and get a red flag law on the ballot after the Lewiston mass shooting.

It was announced Thursday by The Maine Gun Safety Coalition.

The effort comes after a bill in the State Legislature this spring to establish a red flag law never gained traction.

Red flag laws, also known as extreme-risk protection orders, allow family members as well as police to initiate the process of restricting access to weapons for a person in crisis.
