Susan Collins Pushing Gun Control for U.S. Troops<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) is putting together legislation to require the U.S. military to adhere to state-level red and yellow flag laws for troops.<\/p>\n<p>A red flag law allows family, friends, and others, to seek a court order to have guns removed from someone they view as a danger to himself or others. A yellow flag law is more narrow, allowing law enforcement to seek the court order for firearm removal.<\/p>\n<p>Collins bill comes in response to the October 25, 2023, Lewiston, Maine, attacks, which were carried out by a member of the U.S. Army Reserve.<\/p>\n<p>The attacker used a sniper rifle which was legally purchased.<\/p>\n<p>Maine has a yellow flag law, but although police were alerted that the Maine shooter could \u201csnap and commit a mass shooting\u201d in September, according to CNN, no yellow flag action was pursued.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, Breitbart News noted on October 26, 2023, police in New York took Card to a West Point hospital for an evaluation in mid-July 2023.<\/p>\n<p>Card had caught the attention of military officials after \u201cacting erratically in mid-July\u201d while taking part in training at West Point, the Associated Press reported. Police in New York were called and Card was taken to West Point\u2019s Keller Army Community Hospital.<\/p>\n<p>New York has a red flag law and the involvement of police in the West Point incident raised questions as to why the law did not come into play.<\/p>\n<p>On December 22, 2023, WMTW pointed out that Collins \u201cis working on a bill that would require branches of the military to utilize state-level weapons restriction laws, when appropriate, if they believe a service member poses a threat of harm to themselves or others.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>OhMyGosh a SNIPER RIFLE!\u2122 Aauugghh!
