WE WANT TO SUPPORT THE MAJORITY REPORT, AND THIS MUST BE IN THE SUBJECT LINE!!"
SUBJECT: Please support the Majority Report (voted the bill "ought not to pass"), for LD 1109 (firearm magazine ban).
Good morning Senator/Representative [name],
I urge you to stand with the Majority Report on LD 1109: “An Act to Reduce Gun Violence Casualties in Maine by Prohibiting the Possession of Large-capacity Ammunition Feeding Devices“ and vote NOT to limit the rights of responsible Maine gun owners.
Please oppose any Minority Reports and they “ought not to pass.”
Thank you.
