Summary

This referendum proposes dangerous “red flag” laws that threaten the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding Mainers. It would allow courts to strip individuals of their constitutional right to bear arms based on vague claims of “significant danger” from law enforcement, family, or household members, without sufficient due process. These laws risk abuse, enabling false or biased accusations to unjustly disarm citizens, potentially leaving them defenseless. Maine’s existing laws already provide robust mechanisms to address genuine threats while respecting constitutional protections. Question 2 undermines personal freedom and sets a dangerous precedent for eroding Second Amendment rights. Vote NO on Question 2 to keep Maine safe and protect individual liberties.
