No Gun ban in Maine
A gun control bill that drew a crowd of activists to a hearing earlier this week has been killed by a legislative committee.
The bill seeking to impose a ban on assault weapons was killed for this year’s session Thursday by a unanimous vote of the Criminal Justice and Public Safety Committee after the sponsor, Democratic Sen. Ethan Strimling of Portland, acknowledged flaws with the proposal.

“A gun control bill that drew a crowd of activists to a hearing earlier this week has been KILLED by a legislative committee.”
See? Guns do kill. Even the word “gun” kills… That poor bill never did anything to hurt anyone… ::sniff. tear.:: heh.

I wonder how much of that had to do with Bushmaster threatening to leave.
