When we launched the fight to get Question 2 on the ballot, we knew we were going up against one of the largest and well-funded gun lobbies in the nation per capita.
But we also knew that we had the highest gun death rate in the Northeast.
That's why we pushed so hard to collect collect 80,000 signatures in 2.5 months (1 out of every 20 Mainers!) to get the Red Flag Law on the ballot, and then we spent months fighting gun lobby efforts to keep it from getting to voters. It's why we educated Mainers for months so that 63% of them went to the polls in November and voted "yes" on Question 2.
There is so much we have been able to do with your support, Jason. Extreme Risk Protection Orders. The 72-hour waiting period. Stopping ghost guns.
We can't just rest on these victories, not when the gun lobby is trying to undo all of our progress.
The fight against the gun lobby is ongoing, and so is our determination to save lives. Will you donate to our Extreme Protection Order Legal Defense Fund?
Together, we can keep Maine communities safe.
With resolve,
Nacole Palmer, Executive Director
Maine Gun Safety Coalition
