It will make it harder for them. Well that's a sure fire solution there ain't it. Maine may not have to concern itself with lobster exports soon either. Once the lyin' king declared "NO FISH ZONE" off the east coast takes effect in what 5 to 7 years. I guess they need that amount of time to retrain fisher persons to become solar panel installers. Or something.

...people who can’t buy a gun from a licensed dealer because they are felons, domestic abusers, have been dishonorably discharged from the Armed Services, who have been admitted to a mental institution or are otherwise prohibited from having a gun can buy one from an unlicensed seller through a private sale.

My my my, what an interesting list of people who are not legally allowed to protect their own lives.

Hmmm. How about they get an authorization from the local constables stating that’s it’s okay for them to burgle firearms. Kind of a background check.

"...A loophole in Maine law allows dangerous people to buy guns from unlicensed sellers without a background check..."

Boy!

Now that is a well defined sub-group.

Who determines who these "dangerous people" are and what exactly makes them "dangerous people"?

We would need no gun control whatsoever if we exercised common sense crime, and criminal, control. We baby these animals and then want to blame their tools of trade.

I live in Maine, and people have been selling guns here through private sales for at least 300 years.

Plus, Maine has one of the highest rates of firearm ownership in the country but at the same time one of the lowest crime rates.

What we DO have is out-of-state drug dealers.....mostly from New York City, Massachusetts and Connecticut.....coming to Maine and selling heroin here in the state of Maine. It’s causing a lot of problems with addiction and deaths as a result.

The police chiefs of Maine.....the useless dolts that they are....support so-called “universal background checks” and are doing TV and radio spots for the “Yes” vote.

The elected sheriffs of Maine are opposed to the “universal background checks”.....the end of private sales. They are appearing on television in ads, in uniform, with their names and positions on the screen in order to urge people to vote “No.”

The sheriff say that good people will wind up in jail, and they are worried that the next step will be registration, which won’t fly with anyone except ultra-moonbats.

Bloomberg is spending money on “Yes” ads; there haven’t been very many “No” ads. Where the hell is the NRA? They should be pounding the airwaves.

The Sportsmans Alliance of Maine said they will fight this measure in the Maine House and the Maine Senate if this crap passes.

The governor of Maine has said this measure would violate the Maine Constitution if passed.

Obama, as you know, created an offshore National Monument on the ocean floor.....1.5 million acres. It would ban lobster fishing in that area in seven years. Most lobster fisherman catch their lobster fairly close to shore, so while this is not good for the lobster guys, it is much worse for the guys who make their living catching fish. The ban on fishing takes place now. People are already up in arms about this. Thanks, Obama.

I’m sure it is just like Question 1 here in NV. In the sample ballot are laid out the pros and cons. In the pro(Vote Yes On 1) there are several references/footnotes/sources. Over 50% of the stated sources are Everytown for gun safety nannie bloomers horse manure.

Actually, it was a lobster roll sold at McDonald’s....it was frozen.

It disappeared from the menu in my area of Maine a year or two ago.

Most people prefer freshly made lobster rolls, served on a large hot dog type of bun.

The summer people line up for them, and so do the locals.

NRA is using money to help elect congress critters and not much spending on protecting the 2nd. There are some VOTE NO ads running in NV and they are sponsored by some branch of the NRA. The VOTE YES ads are funded by bloombergs minions in a round about way. They have millions to spend, the NV gun rights folks less than $100 thousand.

Newspapers should be known for posting news, not publicizing drivel and idiocy from the mind of a lawyer with political connections.

My hats off you Mainers. I wish you the best in this fight. Youre correct, of course, about gun sales not being a problem. The coddled criminals from democrat states are trying to infest whats left of the other NE states and ruin them as well.

And, Maine lawyers should be known for upholding the Constitution, and not the rantings of liberal special interest groups, and communists.
