Using Mental Health Data to Build a Backdoor Gun Registry
2025 - Maine House of Representatives
Conservatives Oppose
Description
This bill requires that certain mental health data be included in reports on firearm fatalities and hospitalizations, expanding how government and institutions track information linked to gun ownership. This bill risks stigmatizing lawful gun owners and laying groundwork for future restrictions. CPAC defends Second Amendment rights from incremental data-driven encroachments and opposed this bill. The House passed this bill on 2025-06-11 by a vote of 75-67. The bill later became law.
