7Family members are often the first to notice when a person is showing warning signs of being a danger to themselves or others. In some states, family members or law enforcement can ask a judge to temporarily suspend a person's access to guns if they have evidence - for instance, a pattern of violent or unstable behavior - that the person poses a significant threat to themselves or others. Do you ... strongly support? Support? Oppose? Or strongly oppose... allowing family members or law enforcement in Maine to ask a judge to temporarily suspend a person's access to guns if they have evidence that the person poses a significant threat to themselves or others?

8Let's say a candidate for office supported legislation to allow family members or law enforcement to ask a judge to temporarily suspend a person's access to guns if they have evidence that person poses a significant threat to themselves or others. Would you be more or less likely to vote for that candidate, or would it not make a difference in your vote?

11Some people have proposed an alternate version of this policy, which would allow law enforcement and mental health professionals -- but not family members -- to ask a judge to temporarily suspend a person's access to guns. Under this proposal, law enforcement and mental health professionals would only be able to ask a judge to temporarily suspend someone's access to guns if that person has been diagnosed with severe and persistent mental illness and ordered into a year-long mental health treatment program. Do you ... strongly support? Support? Oppose? Or strongly oppose ... allowing law enforcement and mental health professionals -- but not family members -- to ask a judge to temporarily suspend someone's access to guns and only if that person has been diagnosed with severe and persistent mental illness and ordered into a year-long mental health treatment program?

12If you had to make a choice between these two proposals, which do you prefer? Do you prefer a proposal that allows family members or law enforcement to ask a judge to temporarily suspend a person's access to guns if they have evidence - for instance, a pattern of violent or unstable behavior - that the person poses a significant threat to themselves or others? Do you prefer a proposal that allows law enforcement and mental health professionals -- but not family members -- to ask a judge to temporarily suspend someone's access to guns and only if that person has been diagnosed with severe and persistent mental illness and ordered into a year-long mental health treatment program? Or do you prefer neither proposal? If you prefer...

7Family members are often the first to notice when a person is showing warning signs of being a danger to themselves or others. In some states, family members or law enforcement can ask a judge to temporarily suspend a person's access to guns if they have evidence - for instance, a pattern of violent or unstable behavior - that the person poses a significant threat to themselves or others. Do you ... strongly support? Support? Oppose? Or strongly oppose... allowing family members or law enforcement in Maine to ask a judge to temporarily suspend a person's access to guns if they have evidence that the person poses a significant threat to themselves or others?

Would you be more or less likely to vote for that candidate, or would it not make a difference in your vote?

11Some people have proposed an alternate version of this policy, which would allow law enforcement and mental health professionals -- but not family members -- to ask a judge to temporarily suspend a person's access to guns. Under this proposal, law enforcement and mental health professionals would only be able to ask a judge to temporarily suspend someone's access to guns if that person has been diagnosed with severe and persistent mental illness and ordered into a year-long mental health treatment program. Do you ... strongly support? Support? Oppose? Or strongly oppose ... allowing law enforcement and mental health professionals -- but not family members -- to ask a judge to temporarily suspend someone's access to guns and only if that person has been diagnosed with severe and persistent mental illness and ordered into a year-long mental health treatment program?
