Senator Susan Collins has introduced the 'Armed Forces Crisis Intervention Notification Act,' co-sponsored by Senator Angus King, in response to the Lewiston mass shooting that left 18 dead and 13 injured. The bill mandates that the U.S. military utilize state crisis intervention laws, such as Maine's Yellow Flag Law, to seize firearms from service members deemed a serious threat to themselves or others. This legislation aims to address communication gaps between military services and state law enforcement, which were highlighted in investigations following the shooting. Reports indicated missed opportunities to disarm the gunman, Robert Card, who had exhibited signs of psychosis and violent behavior. The bill seeks to ensure that military branches provide relevant information to civilian law enforcement and participate in judicial proceedings, while protecting Second Amendment rights. Collins emphasized that improved coordination could prevent future tragedies and support service members in crisis.
