Does Massachusetts have a 'red flag' law that allows courts to temporarily seize firearms from individuals deemed to pose a danger to themselves or others?

  1. Yes

  2. No

  3. Only during a state of emergency

  4. Only if the individual has a prior conviction

The correct answer is: Yes

Massachusetts does in fact have a 'red flag' law that allows courts to temporarily seize firearms from individuals deemed to pose a danger to themselves or others. Option B is incorrect because the state does have this law in place. Option C is incorrect because the law is not limited to only being enforced during a state of emergency. Option D is incorrect because the decision to temporarily seize firearms is based on a person's current behavior and potential danger, not solely on prior convictions.
