Maine Dems Getting a Little Too Cocky
Guys...this is Maine, remember?
Two anti-gun bills are pending action in the Criminal Justice and Public Safety Committee.40% of people who live here (including me) own guns. That's a pretty large constituency to irritate. Do these folks even remember 1994?LD985, introduced by State Senator Nancy Sullivan (D-4), requires that a federally licensed gun dealer facilitate all sales, transfers, and loans of firearms. Dealers could subject these transactions to a fee that cannot exceed $10.
LD814, sponsored by State Representative Anna Blodgett (D-56), requires that a National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) check be performed by a federally licensed gun dealer prior to the sale or transfer of a firearm at a gun show.

Nice, I'm sure this'll do nothing but cause more red tape for the people that legally carry guns.

Obama has inspired me alright...I've put a lingering thought into action and joined the NRA as well as purchased my first firearm ever (9mm XDM if you must know!). I last shot a firearm to qualify as a Marksman in the Army 20+years ago. Ammo is awful pricey these days though.

Dude, they can't remember anything that happened before 1/20/2001.
