Maine: Urge Lawmakers to OPPOSE LD 1126 NOW!

Dear [Lawmaker],

As a resident of Maine and strong supporter of the second amendment, I urge you to OPPOSE and vote "NO" on LD 1126.

LD 1126, the so-called "ghost gun bill," claims to assist law enforcement by requiring serialization of all "firearms" in Maine. Beyond the obvious logical flaws of this bill, including assuming that criminals will serialize firearms they are planning to use in a crime, this bill also includes more sinister provisions that will greatly impact law-abiding Maine gun owners.

As written, LD 1126 would implement Universal Background Checks in Maine. If passed, this bill would override Maine's current background check law that requires all advertised sales to be completed through an FFL. This is because LD 1126 lists the "Purchase a frame or receiver imprinted with a serial number without undergoing a background check pursuant to 18 United States Code, Section 922(t) or Title 15, section 395," as prohibited conduct in Maine. This means that all firearm sales (excluding unserialized pre-1968 firearms) would be required to undergo a background check in Maine.

Again, I urge you to vote "NO" and OPPOSE LD 1126. Thank you for all you do for the great state of Maine.

Sincerely,
______
