Easy answer. Congresswoman Pingree's husband owns much of the media in the state of Maine. Pingree

This is rich.

Dipsh!! wannabe “journalists” want to bust open your privacy and publicly point fingers at you: “Looky, looky, looky who owns GUNZ!”

And then they sit and “wonder” why firearm owners fight tooth and nail to prevent so-called “common sense” regulations like registration!

Hey, moonbat, press punk a$$es, you are so stupid, I wonder who dresses you in the morning?

"In an angry essay released Friday, best-selling novelist Stephen King calls on gun owners — including himself — to support a ban on semiautomatic weapons and other gun-control measures in the wake of the school shooting in Newtown, Conn.
In the 25-page essay, Guns (available exclusively for 99 cents in Amazon's online Kindle Store), King writes that he owns three handguns "with a clear conscience."

I got rid of all of his ripoff of 50's low budget horror flick scripts back when he told a bunch of kids that they better learn how to read or they would end up in the military. POS.

Somebody should publish his address in the paper... then he would have to move.

There’s an easy solution to this problem. Just have somebody demand the names, addresses, phone numbers and DOB of everybody who works at that newspaper. And throw in their SSN as well. It’s the same right to privacy issue. Then watch ‘em squirm.

God Bless our Governor!:

Governor Paul R. LePage released today the following statement regarding news that the Bangor Daily News is requesting the names and addresses of concealed weapons permit holders from law enforcement agencies across the state:

“If newspapers would like to know who has concealed weapons permits, then they should know the Governor has his. I have serious concerns that BDN’s request will incite fear among gun owners and non-gun owners alike regarding their safety. There is no reason why these records should be public and I encourage the Legislature to act quickly to make this personal information confidential.

As I have said, the rights of law-abiding citizens to own firearms will not be questioned while I am Governor. That is especially true for those who respect the law enough to go through the process of obtaining a permit to carry concealed.”

He has a future in national politics if he wants it.
