Lewiston, Maine 💔

We are heartbroken to learn of a deadly mass shooting in Lewiston, Maine. We stand strong with our affiliate, the Maine Gun Safety Coalition. Please read their statement below and follow their FB page for further updates. 

The Maine Gun Safety Coalition grieves with the families and friends who lost loved ones in the mass shooting last night. We watched in horror as the tragedy in Lewiston, Maine happened before our eyes – the result of our weak gun laws.  We call on our elected officials tonight to stop bowing to the gun lobby and look squarely at the face of what has happened in Maine’s second largest city.  At a minimum, The Maine Gun Safety Coalition believes an assault weapons ban is necessary to try to prevent more such tragedies in our state.

GIFFORDS grades Maine gun laws an F.

Maine’s lack of basic gun safety laws puts its residents at grave risk, and lawmakers owe it to their communities to stand up to this crisis.
