  • Summary

  • HOW FLAG LAWS SAVE LIVES: LESSONS FROM LEWISTON In this episode of Stop the Killing, we explore the real-life impact of red and yellow flag laws in preventing gun violence and saving lives. Using the Lewiston, Maine tragedy as a case study, we discuss how flag laws function as critical tools for law enforcement, families, and communities in averting potential acts of violence and suicide. Our conversation covers: How red and yellow flag laws differ and why each matters. Real-world examples of how flag laws have saved lives. The challenges law enforcement faces in states with limited flag law protections. Why knowing your state’s flag laws could make a life-saving difference. We also examine recent changes to Maine’s yellow flag law in the wake of the Lewiston shooting, which have led to a surge in its use. Discover how awareness, action, and legislation work together to prevent tragedies and save lives. Tune in to understand how these laws operate, why they’re effective, and how you can advocate for safer communities.
