Maine: Another Round of Gun Bills to Be Heard May 1st

Dear [Lawmaker],

As a fellow Mainer, I urge you to SUPPORT LD 1009 and to OPPOSE LD 411, LD 1379, and LD 1463 in your committee.

LD 1009 seeks to create a legal process to restore the Second Amendment rights of non-violent offenders. This bill, sponsored by Rep. Chad Perkins (R- Dover-Foxcroft), establishes a process for non-violent felons to petition the State of Maine to restore their rights. This petition process allows the Maine Department of Public Safety to review these requests on a case-by-case basis and issue a judgment regarding whether or not the individual should have their rights restored.

LD 1379 requires all firearm dealers and gunsmiths to display anti-gun "public health" warnings at their establishments. This bill attempts to further the farce that firearms are a "public health crisis" and intimidate or dissuade first-time gun buyers.

LD 411 and LD 1463 seek to prohibit the state from selling forfeited firearms. If passed, these bills would ban the State of Maine from selling firearms and instead direct them to be destroyed.

Again, I urge you to SUPPORT LD 1009 and to OPPOSE LD 411, LD 1379, and LD 1463 in your committee.

Thank you for all that you do for our great state.

Sincerely,
______
