Contributing sentiments towards policy:

51% : Keeping in mind the strong support for gun rights, legislators passed a "yellow flag" law in 2019 that would require police to seek a medical evaluation of anyone believed to be dangerous before then trying to take their guns away.
48% : Schools, doctor's offices and shops closed and people stayed behind locked doors in cities as far as 50 miles from the scenes of the shootings.
48% : Maine does not require permits to carry guns, and the state has a longstanding culture of gun ownership that is tied to its traditions of hunting and sport shooting.
45% : Schools in Lewiston will remain closed on Friday, while those in Portland would decide in the morning whether to open.
