A group backing a Maine statewide ballot effort to require background checks for private gun sales has received a $125,000 donation from from Seattle-based entrepreneur Nicolas Hanauer.
The effort is to place a referendum question on the ballot. Here's the question:
“Do you want to change Maine law to require background checks prior to the transfer of firearms between individuals, with some exceptions for certain circumstances?"
Who wouldn't answer this incredibly vague question in the affirmative? It sounds like it will provide safety. But will it? No, rather it will just adversely affect the rights of lawful gun owners.
