Maine Gov Goes After FPC For Tweet

From Ammoland:

This response wasn’t the first time that FPC had used colorful language to push back against gun control, but it might be the first time that a Governor’s staff reported the organization to the police for a perceived threatening statement. Thanks to a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request by the Maine Wire, we now know the staff contacted Maine State Police’s Executive Protection Unit to investigate the tweet. The Executive Protection Unit is responsible for protecting the Governor, similar to how the United States Secret Service (USSS) is supposed to protect the President and former Presidents of the United States.

The bill had been sent to the Democrat governor’s desk in a 20-14 vote by the state Senate and a narrow 72-71 roll call in the state House. While the law makes it a crime to gather and provide firearms or explosives instruction when ” training or demonstrating is intended to be used by the other person in or in furtherance of civil disorder,” the fuzzy language raised a flag with some as being too broad.
