flag Maine's governor urges rejection of a red flag law referendum, calling the current yellow flag law effective and safe.

flag Maine Governor Janet Mills is urging voters to reject Question 2, a proposed red flag law referendum, arguing that the state’s current yellow flag law—enacted in 2019 after bipartisan effort—is effective, constitutionally sound, and has led to over 1,100 firearm removals. flag She warns that shifting to a system allowing private citizens to initiate proceedings would create confusion, endanger those involved, weaken due process, and risk the law’s legal validity. flag Mills emphasizes that law enforcement-led investigations, protective custody, and court oversight ensure safety and accountability, and that the existing law has been used frequently and successfully, including after the 2023 Lewiston tragedy. flag She maintains the law was tailored to Maine’s needs and should not be replaced with a less effective, potentially dangerous alternative.
