Maine Assault Weapons Ban
In Maine, there is a bill in the works to ban weapons that look like assault weapons. A few notes about the bill:
Strimling wants to give Maine law enforcement leeway to develop a system to identify new assault weapons and add them to the list.
An open ended list sounds like a very bad idea. It is also subject to abuse by the powers that be.
Strimling says military-grade weapons are unnecessary and dangerous and he calls his bill a commonsense approach to gun control. Maine Citizens Against Handgun Violence supports his bill.
Ethan Strimling is a liar. This bill does not ban military-grade weapons. It bans weapons that look like military weapons.

If the Second Amendment protects any kind of firearm it certainly protects MILITARY pattern militia arms.
NOT deer rifles or shotguns…Militia arms.
