Assault-weapons ban needless, owners say (Maine)

Re. your #17:

"The liberals will need some high profile incident to whip the populace into the required panic to give away their precious rights."

On the basis of past strangely "convenient" massacres for the left to politicize, I rather suspect that such an incedent could be "arranged" if it might advance the cause of socialist tyranny in this State.

Remember; This mob running things up in Augusta is acting a lot more like an organized criminal syndicate than any legitimate governmental administration you'd expect to find in a Constitutional Republic.

If they feel that something like that needs to happen in order for them to preserve and advance their power over the Sheeple of Maine, I for one am pretty darned sure that it could be "arranged".

Of course, it may not be necessary; given this racket's propensity for passing law with utter disregard of both the majority of the People's will or the Constitutions of State or Nation, this attrocity may very well become the law of Maine in the near future, whether we like it or not.

And any Legislative Commiocrats with half a conscience who seem to be balking at the ludicrous AWB now can be whipped into conformity pretty quickly by the Mob / Union / Party Bosses (can anyone tell the difference?) in Augusta.
They are known to be very persuasive, and dissent is not well tolerated.

Expect a party-line vote and the typical Baldaccian triumph - after which a lot of Maine gun-owners will be doing a lot of "landscaping".

Oh yes; and violent crime in Maine will rise exponentially, as it always does when the Sheeple are disarmed. We will no longer be one of the safest States in the Union - not for long, anyway.

Just keep letting these Commiocrats rig and steal elections; it'll get worse.

You are correct. A big part of the problem is that many area's have gone away from sheriff's departments and gone to Police. The difference being is that a chief of police is a political appointee while a sheriff is elected. Most sheriffs are on our side. The chiefs of police are political hacks for the most part and are about as useless as a fart in a space suit.

As for the laws that exempt cops... Delegate Tom Rust sponsored a POS bill that exempts cops from the one handgun a month law here in Va. He didn't seem to terribly upset when I pointed out that if passed, the law would be in violation of the equal rights protection act and it would be highly discriminatory. Well, it passed and VCDL is suing to have it either repealed or have the one gun a month law repealed.

The other twist to this is that there is a group in Va. that is pushing to remove all law enforcement exemptions regarding firearms in the Va. code... I hope that passes.
