Commitment To Protecting Mainers' Second Amendment Rights

Statement

This weekend, Maine's Second District Congressman, Bruce Poliquin, will be attending the gun show in Augusta. Congressman Poliquin released the following statement:

"Growing up in Central Maine, I understand the importance and tradition of fishing, camping, hunting and exercising our Second Amendment rights.

"From combating the Administration's proposed ban on M855 5.56 x 45mm ammunition to supporting a national concealed carry reciprocity bill, I have supported numerous bills that will help protect Mainers' Second Amendment rights.

"For example, I proudly cosponsored a bill that will repeal current laws and regulations that restrict firearms-trained military personnel from carrying firearms on military bases and armed forces recruitment facilities. There is simply no reason that our military members should not be afforded this right.

"In Congress, I will continue to support bills that will allow Mainers to pass along the rich tradition of exercising their Second Amendment rights from one generation to the next."
