ME: Background checks not cure-all, but they’ll make Maine safer

This past week, Mainers came together in an effort to get an important gun safety initiative onto next year’s ballot. At events in Ellsworth and Portland, volunteers started collecting signatures so that next fall Maine voters will have the opportunity to support criminal background checks on all gun sales.

This is a common-sense public safety measure that recognizes that Second Amendment rights go hand in hand with the responsibility to keep guns out of the hands of dangerous people. Mainers deserve the chance to have an up-or-down vote on this critical issue.

More of the "common sense" gun control.

The fallacy is that criminals don't acquire their guns through legal channels. They steal them or buy them on the black market.

The only people inconvenienced by so called universal background checks are the honest law abiding citizens.

These background checks will make it more difficult and more expensive for a private individual that wants to sell his guns to acquaintances and relatives.

I just wonder how many past crimes can be pointed out that would have been prevented with this. My guess ? None.
Feel good stuff as any crook can and will get a gun if he wants.
 
 QUOTES TO REMEMBER
Congress have no power to disarm the militia. Their swords, and every other terrible implement of the soldier, are the birthright of an American... The unlimited power of the sword is not in the hands of either the federal or state government, but, where I trust in God it will ever remain, in the hands of the people. — Tench Coxe, Pennsylvania Gazette, Feb. 20, 1788.
