There’s a crowded GOP slate of candidates in the state of Maine running for governor. I spoke to the top four frontrunners — out of the seven candidates total — vying for the spot. Through these interviews the candidates were asked about their stances on the Second Amendment and the all-important annual Maine moose hunt.
Topics discussed include:
- The Maine moose hunt
- Studies on lead ammunition use
- The Second Amendment
- So-called “red flag” laws
- So-called “large-capacity magazine” bans
- So-called “safe storage” mandates
- The so-called “ghost gun” bans/regulations
- Restoration of rights to non-violent felons
- So-called “assault weapons” ban
You can check out the four interviews over at The Pen Patriot YouTube channel and the following links and/or the embeds below:
