Maine is one of four states, along with California, Nevada and Washington, where voters will decide Nov. 8 whether to enact tougher firearms laws. In a change from past elections, there are no statewide initiatives seeking to expand gun rights anywhere in the U.S.

“I do call it a movement. People are really getting fed up with all the violence,” said Judi Richardson, 57, of South Portland, Maine, who gathered signatures to help place the initiative on the ballot.


Gun restrictions win when the PEOPLE get to vote on them.

This year the NRA has spent more than $20 million to defeat pro gun control candidates. They will win virtually none of those races.

This is the year we can explode the myth of NRA invinceability.

Go.

Vote.

Defeat the NRA.
