We had the same ballot measure here in Maine.

It was called Measure 3.

So-called “universal background checks.”

The police chiefs here in Maine supported it’s passage, and some of them did commercials in favor of the measure.

The elected Sheriffs of Maine were opposed to the passage of super-duper background checks, and did commercials in opposition....the only TV commercials.

Bloomberg spent $6 million here in Maine....the NRA supposedly spent $1 million. There were very few anti-Measure 3 commercials here in Maine....the gun grabbers had endless commercials on TV and radio.

Bloomberg and company were defeated in Maine, 52% to 48%.

I am an NRA Lifetime Endowment member. Quite frankly, the NRA did very poorly this election cycle (California and Nevada) and I'm disappointed with the results. The NRA needs to do some serious reflecting and after-action study to figure out what went wrong. I'm reticent to give the NRA any more money until they find a better way and generate better results.
