Background
On Wednesday, June 25th, the Maine Senate narrowly passed LD 1126, Maine's so-called "ghost gun" bill, by a vote of 17-16. This bill now heads to Governor Janet Mills' (D) desk for her signature.
LD 1126, progressive politicians' so-called "ghost gun bill," redefines firearms under Maine law to include both finished and unfinished receivers. This definition change also explicitly requires that all finished and unfinished frames, receivers, and homemade firearms must be serialized at an FFL. This would hinder law-abiding Mainers' ability to build and repair firearms in their homes and require them to obtain expensive serialization on firearms and firearm parts. This "ghost gun" scheme does not address criminal activity in Maine. Instead, it serves a national agenda to ban homemade firearms, which have been part of our nation's history since its inception.
NRA members and Second Amendment advocates are urged to contact the Governor and urge her to veto LD 1126.

Dear [Lawmaker],
As a fellow Mainer, I urge you to VETO LD 1126 when it arrives on your desk.
