    The problem was, when he made the threats, he was in New York. He was committed for 2 weeks in New York. Maine’s yellow flag law had no jurisdiction.

    New York has a red flag law, but his home and guns were in Maine.

    We solve this problem with a FEDERAL Red Flag law.

        Because in New York he was reported from a military base and they removed him from the base. They had no knowledge of what he may or may not have had in Maine.

                I’m trying, but it’s an emotional subject that people don’t want to look at too closely. They want easy answers and there really aren’t any. :(

                The best bet is to assume stuff like “ban guns” or “ban semi-automatic rifles” can’t happen, and start looking at what CAN happen if we want real change.
