Mr. and Mrs. Maine, turn them in (part 2)

Ravenwood notes that the bill would require Maine citizens to turn in assault weapons and machine guns, in addition to .50 caliber rifles.

Update: Gun owners showed up in large numbers to protest the ban:

Dozens of the 80 or so people who crammed the hearing room wore stickers opposing gun control, and the 22 people who testified against the bill over the course of several hours far outnumbered the handful of people who spoke for it.

That gun lobby at work.

    Bottom line, this bill will not pass. If there is one thing I have faith in is a politician’s ability to spot where funds will be lost. Even with the clause in the bill allowing the existing gun manufacturer to stay in business, I seriously doubt they will allow a bill that could possible have this business move out of state. Let’s not forget that this has absolutely nothing to do with public safety, but rather the bottom dollar and a few ant-gun nuts. In my opinion the dollar sways towards squashing this bill, unless of course it could mean a sway in votes. Votes being the only thing once every so many years that is worth more than the dollar to our ethical political entities.

    The fact that there are legislators who are even daring to do this shows that the GFW’s are getting strong in Maine. Bushmaster should look into moving to New Hampshire, but things don’t look so rosy there as well. I have to say that I am really getting sick of being pushed around by these gun banners.

Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
