With the exception of military, police and licensed private security personnel, the possession, purchase or sale of automatic or semi-automatic weapons and ancillary equipment in the state of Maine shall result in a minimum mandatory one year jail sentence and a $20,000 fine for each such weapon.
Why is this important?
Weapons are a serious health and safety issue. Automatic and semi-automatic weapons are battlefield equipment designed to kill as many people as quickly as possible. Maine is not at war with itself or with anyone else. These weapons are no different than the plague or the black death. We are all repeatedly affected by this "disease" and need to eliminate it.
