LD 333, sponsored by Representative Stan Gerzofsky (D-66), requires background checks at gun shows for everyone involved in a sale or transfer of a firearm, regardless if you are a dealer or not. Law-abiding citizens are able to sell their firearms outside the doors of a gun show, but once inside LD 333 would require all firearms to be sold through a dealer. LD 333 imposes another expensive, time-consuming obstacle for Maine`s law-abiding gun owners. Please plan to attend the public hearing for LD 333 on Wednesday, April 27 at 9:30 a.m. in room 436 at the State House. If you are unable to attend, please call the Criminal Justice and Public Safety Committee members and voice your opposition to this legislation. Chairman Bill Diamond (D-12) can be reached at (207) 287-1515 and other committee members at (800) 423-2900.
