Yesterday, the Maine Senate officially killed Legislative Document 1000, which would have established a firearm range safety group within the Department of Inland Fisheries & Wildlife. This legislation would have been the first step in undermining Maine’s strong range protection laws. Thanks to the strong response of NRA members and Second Amendment supporters, the bill was defeated. NRA-ILA would like to thank all lawmakers who defended the Second Amendment for law-abiding citizens in the Pine Tree State.
LD 1000 would have directed the Department of Inland Fisheries & Wildlife to establish a working group to review firearm range safety and access to firearm safety information in the State. This legislation would have been the first step towards rolling back important shooting range protection laws in Maine. Shooting ranges provide a safe environment for law-abiding individuals to learn, practice, and train. They should not be regulated out of existence.

“LD 1000 defeated”…..for now.
Communists are nothing, if not patient and persistent.
They will keep fighting until everything is destroyed. Communist progressive leftism cannot create or improve anything. It only tears things down.
Whenever I see NRA on anything having to do with positive gun news, I think of the blind squirrel finding the occasional nut. Why do you suppose that is?
I say, Thank you NRA —- THIS TIME you did not assist in developing an INFRINGEMENT upon American Citizens as you have done MULTIPLE TIMES in the past!!
