Up until a couple months ago, I wouldn’t have hesitated to say I support requiring permits to carry concealed weapons. I am a firm supporter of Second Amendment rights, but I didn’t think concealed weapons permit was a big deal. Then, an acquaintance of mine told me why he supports eliminating the permit requirement as drafted in the amended version of LD 652.
It was like he turned a light on — suddenly there was no outside money, no propaganda, just the voice of a born and bred Mainer. It got me thinking about how big money has such a stronghold on our political discourse that we lose sight of the fact that pending legislation is about real people. This law isn’t about knee-jerk reactions for or against the National Rifle Association. This law is about each of us and our neighbors.
Any attempt to Overthrow The Constitution through legislation or regulation is simply treason. Seditious activities by the Gun Control Activists seeking to Restrict the RIGHT to Keep and Bear Arms should be punished and the treasoners have the full penalty under the Constitution imposed.
